Ingredients
 
 

Tart Pastry

  •  
    1 package puff pastry sheets - thawed

Filling

  • Glass bowl of olive oil isolated on white background2 tablespoons olive oil - extra virgin
  • Ripe yellow onion on a white background1 medium onion - diced
  • garlic2 cloves garlic - minced
  • Raw meat mince500 grams ground beef (minced beef) - lean
  • bottle of sauce1 cup BBQ sauce - preferably homemade or a premium brand
  • Cherry tomatoes on vine, paths1 cup cherry tomatoes - halved
  • Sweet pepper red paprika powder in wooden bowl over white1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Coarse sea salt top view½ teaspoon sea salt
  • Ground black pepper pile, paths, top¼ teaspoon ground black pepper - freshly ground
  •  
    1 handful basil leaves - fresh, for garnishing

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F).
  • Roll out the puff pastry and cut into four equal rectangles. Place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, and prick the centers of each with a fork to prevent them from puffing unevenly.
  • In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and saute until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add the minced beef to the pan, cooking until browned and fully cooked, roughly 8 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
  • Stir in the BBQ sauce, cherry tomatoes, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Cook on low heat for an additional 5 minutes until well combined and the sauce slightly thickens.
  • Spoon the beef mixture onto the center of each pastry rectangle, leaving a small border.
  • Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and flaky.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before garnishing with fresh basil leaves.

Notes

For a smokier flavor, consider using a BBQ sauce with a touch of chipotle. If you're in a hurry, caramelize onions faster by adding a pinch of baking soda to the pan.
