Caramelize shallots: Peel shallots, halve lengthwise, cut into about 3mm thick slices. Fry in olive oil in a large non-stick pan, reduce heat, season with salt and pepper, add vinegar, a little water (if shallots start to stick). Add thyme sprigs, braise the whole thing for about 25 minutes with the lid closed until they are soft and taste sweet.

Prepare tomatoes: Slice tomatoes, remove any stalks.

Assemble tart: Line the bottom of a springform pan (24cm) with baking paper, grease the edges with olive oil. Press the dough into shape with your fingers, leaving a rim. Season shallots, add more salt if needed, distribute on the pastry. Then arrange the tomatoes on top so that the tart is completely covered with tomatoes. Distribute the remaining thyme, season again with salt and pepper, drizzle with a little olive oil.
