Prepare the pastry crust

1.In a food processor, pulse together the whole wheat flour, all purpose flour and salt. Add butter and shortening and pulse the mixture until it resembles small crumbs. This process can also be done with two knives or with a pastry cutter.

2.Add ice water to bring the crumbs together and form a ball. Use more water if necessary.

3.Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least one hour.

Roasting the Cherry Tomatoes

1.Cut cherry tomatoes in half and scoop out seeds and water.

2.Toss in a bowl with olive oil, salt and pepper.

3.Line an 11-inch (28 cm) round baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the cherry tomatoes in a single layer.

4.Set the rack at the bottom rack height position. Turn the FUNCTION dial to ROAST. Set the TEMPERATURE to 350˚F (175˚C) and the TIME to 20 minutes. Press START/CANCEL button to activate.

5.Set the roasted cherry tomatoes aside to cool.

Caramelizing the onions

1.In a small sauce pan on medium heat, heat the olive oil and butter. Sauté the onions for one minute.

2.Add water, salt and sugar. Cover and bring to a boil. Turn heat down to low.

3.Continue to cook on low heat for about 15 to 20 minutes or until the onions have softened and have taken on a golden color. Stir often.

4.Set the caramelized onions aside to cool.

Assembling the tart

1.On a well-floured surface, roll out the pastry to a ¼ inch thickness. Transfer the rolled pastry to a 9-inch square tart pan. Press the dough onto the sides and cut off the excess. For best results refrigerate for half an hour.

2.Remove the tart pan from the refrigerator, and spread an even layer of the caramelized onions.

3.Arrange the roasted cherry tomato halves over the onions.

4.Dot with crumbled goat cheese.
