  • 400g tinned tomatoes,chopped

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 2 garlic cloves,crushed

  • pinch of salt

  • 1 tbsp salted capers,rinsed

Method

  1. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured board and trim to a 25cm circle or square. Prick well and refrigerate for 30 minutes to prevent shrinkage.

    Preheat the oven to 200C. In a saucepan,combine the tomatoes,olive oil,garlic,salt,sugar and oregano and simmer for 20 mins until you have a thickened paste. Allow to cool slightly.

    Spread the tomato on the pastry base and arrange the sardines on top,in either a pinwheel or a criss-cross pattern.

    Scatter with olives,capers and thyme and drizzle with a little of the sardine oil. Bake for 20-25 mins or until the tart is golden.
