Method
step 1
Preheat the oven to fan 200C/conventional 220C/gas 7. Divide the pastry into six pieces and roll out each piece on a floured surface to make a 15cm round. Place the pastry rounds on two or three non-stick baking sheets.
step 2
Mix the chopped mint and coriander in a small bowl with the crushed garlic, olive oil, cayenne pepper and 1⁄4 tsp salt.
step 3
Trim away the top and the bottom of each tomato, then cut the rest of each tomato into 4 thin slices. Spread a dessertspoon of the herb mixture over each pastry round, leaving a narrow margin of pastry uncovered. Arrange slices of tomato, overlapping, on each tart and sprinkle the remaining herb mixture on top. Season with salt and pepper.
step 4
Bake the tarts for 15-20 minutes until the pastry is crisp and golden. Serve while still hot.
