To prepare the dough, mix the flour with the salt, then add the butter until the mixture becomes like sand.
Add the water gradually until the dough becomes granular. The dough is formed in the form of a cylinder and wrapped with plastic wrap, then put in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Place the dough in a tart tray, leaving excess dough on the sides and decorate it with a fork. Top it with baking paper, then pour some beans in the middle and place the dough in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove baking paper and beans, grease with melted butter. Mix the ricotta cheese with salt and pepper and pour over the tart. Put again in the oven until browned.
To prepare the filling, cook the onions in oil over a fire until golden. Add balsamic vinegar and simmer for 10 minutes. Add water, berries, thyme and simmer for 3 minutes. Add corn starch and stir until combined, remove from heat and add one tablespoon of lemon juice.
Spread the mixture over the tartar and garnish with fresh thyme leaves before serving.
