Pastry twists

Hold the ends of the pastry strips and twist approx. 5 times, place on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Brush the pastry twists with oil, sprinkle with fleur de sel.
To bake
Approx. 30 mins. in the centre of an oven preheated to 200°C. Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly, leave the pastry twists to cool completely on a rack.
Charcoal/gas/electric grill
With the lid down, grill the slices of tomato over/on a medium heat (approx. 200°C) for approx. 2 mins. on each side. Serve the tomatoes on a platter. Drizzle with oil, season.
Salad
