Onion Tarts

Oh, I made some onion tarts tonight... A fantastic, easy to prepare small bite.
1. Prepare tart shells - either bought, or made. I use pre-made pastry sheets which I cut into cup-sized circles, put into a muffin tray and blind bake at 170 degrees for about 10 mins.
2. Saute some sliced onions, red is best. A tray of 12 tarts requires about 3 medium-sized onions.
3. Spoon about a tablespoon of onions into your tart shells.
4. Add about a teaspoon of fig paste. I had no idea where to get this from, so I just made a very simple chunky fig jam. Cut figs into smaller pieces, boil with about 1/4 cup of water with some sugar, I used brown. Reduce till thick.
5. Top with a small piece of goats cheese and bake. Remove when you start salivating... Ok, about 10 mins should do it.

The recipe didn't call for it, but some thyme would go beautifully. Really. Just top with a couple of small pieces.

Yum. My mouth is watering again.
