3 tbsp. plus 1/3 c. Olive oil
1/2 c. chopped onion

1, 17 1/4 ounce package frozen puff pastry (2 sheets), thawed
6 plum tomatoes, sliced into 1/8 inch thick rounds
2 tbsp. minced fresh basil
Heat the 3 tbsp. oil in heavy medium skillet over medium heat.
Add chopped onion and 2 of the minced garlic cloves and sauté

Simmer tomato mixture until reduced to 1 1/2 c. thick purée,

round, leaving 1/2 inch border around edge.

Sprinkle tomatoes with salt and pepper.
Bake until tart crusts are golden, about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, mix fresh basil and remaining 2 minced garlic cloves in
bowl.
Gradually whisk in remaining 1/3 c. oil.
Drizzle 1 tbsp. basil-oil mixture over each tartlet and serve.
Makes 6 servings.
