Wonton Tarts with Goats cheese, Grilled Peppers and Caramelised Onions

(makes 24)

Wonton pastry is an egg-based pastry; a healthy low-fat alternative to puff pastry or shortcut pastry but still with a good crunch and an attractive look about it! Usually it's used for making wontons (Chinese dumplings), but if it's put it in the oven with a bit of spray oil to prevent sticking it makes a great base for both savoury and sweet tarts! It's a little bit fiddly with all the folding but once you get the hang of it, you can make an impressive looking canapé at the drop of a hat!

Prep time: 20 min

Cooking time: 10 min

Ingredients:

1 pack wonton pastry (contains 60)

200g spreadable goats cheese

250g grilled peppers 

2 Spanish onion

1-2 T chives, finely chopped

balsamic vinegar

spray oil

Special equipment: 24 mini-muffin tray

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 150˚C.

2. Lightly spray the tray with oil.

3. Put the wonton pastry into the muffin moulds, making a small fold on each side to help it fit. Make sure they're all folded in the same direction (so they look pretty).

4. Place the tarts in the oven for 7-10 minutes, or until brown and crispy.

5. Meanwhile, slice the onion into thin rings. 

6. Caramelising onions: Heat a saucepan, add 1/2 T oil. Add the onion and cook on medium heat, stirring frequently. When the onions are soft, add some balsamic vinegar and continue to cook on low heat for 3-5 minutes.

7. Thinly slice the peppers.

8. Fill the tarts first with a teaspoon of spreadable goats cheese, then caramelised onions, then peppers and sprinkle with chives on top!
