Recipe - steps

  • 1 Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C)
  • 2 Cut the eggplant and onion into slices around 1/5 inch (0,5 cm) thick. Put the vinegar in a small bowl and dredge the vegetables through it.
  • 3 Spread the eggplant slices in a low pie pan and top with the onion slices, strips of tomato, and mackerel fillets. Sprinkle with the thyme leaves.
  • 4 Cover the tarte tatin with the puff pastry and, if necessary, cut off any excess dough. Bake the tarte tatin in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown and crusty.
  • 5 Once slightly cool, slide a large plate over the pan and carefully - but quickly - flip it over. Serve the tarte tatin scattered with the extra thyme leaves.
