Ingredients:

• 1 packet gluten free savoury short crust pastry or flaky pastry

• 700g mix of cherry tomatoes, heirloom tomatoes and vine ripened tomatoes

• 1 bunch basil

• 2T thyme, torn

• 1/2C cashews

• 2T dijon mustard

• 2T ACV

• 1/2C olive oil

• 2 cloves garlic

• 11/2T raw honey

• s&p to taste

• 1/2C sun dried tomatoes

• 1/4C water

• 1 egg beaten to egg wash pastry or 1T coconut oil.

Method:

Slice tomatoes 1/4” thick and place in a bowl with 1T ACV, 1T raw honey, 1T olive oil, 1 clove garlic chopped, generous sprinkling of salt and pepper. Toss gently and allow to marinate while you make the pesto. In a blender add the cashews, water, garlic clove, sun dried tomatoes, mustard, 3/4 bunch basil, remainder of honey, ACV & olive oil, s&p, Blend until smooth.

On a flat surface, dust out some gluten free flour and also coat the pastry and rolling pin. Place dough in the middle of the surface and start rolling out into a circle, approx 35cm.

Transfer to a baking paper lined tray.

Start placing pesto down about 10-20cm away from edge. Then start placing tomatoes over the top, staying away from the edge. Garnish with remainder of basil and thyme, s&p. Roll edges of pastry over so it encloses the pesto and sliced tomatoes.

With a pastry brush, brush the pastry with either egg or coconut oil.

Bake in a 190°C fan forced oven for approx 50 minutes, or until nice and golden. Allow to cool slightly before cutting and serving.
