  5. Now add tomato paste and salt and fry for a few minutes until the mixture becomes thick.
  6. Add the herbs and diced tomatoes to the mixture and turn the stove off. Let it cool completely.
  7. Pre heat the oven at 160°C.
  8. Brush the pastry sheets with butter. Cut them into 6 parts and line them into the greased muffin tray. Alternately you can use patty pans.
  9. Spoon the mixture into the muffin trays. Don’t fill it more than half level, as the pastry rises to the top when it is baked.
  10. Add sliced olives on top of the mixture and finally sprinkle cheese.
  11. Place the trays in the oven and bake for 15 minutes or until it is golden brown in colour. Make sure to keep checking constantly.
