Use the same tart shell recipe as for the pea tart, adding a teaspoon of chopped fresh thyme leaves to the pastry if you like. Serves 4 to 6.

Servings

Ingredients

FOR THE FILLING:
500g small beetroot, roasted, peeled and cut into wedges
25g unsalted butter
3 red onions, halved and finely sliced
150ml red wine
2 tbsps cider vinegar
1 ½ tbps honey
1 tbsp thyme leaves, roughly chopped
2 tbsp dill, finely chopped, plus a few fronds to finish the tart
280g goat’s cheese log
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

goats cheese, tart, beetroot

Directions

For this recipe, I used a loose-bottomed Victoria sandwich tin to make a deep tart, about 20cm in diameter and 5cm deep; if you want to make a thinner tart, use a tin that’s about 24cm diameter. Prepare and blind bake the case as for the lettuce tart recipe. Increase the oven temperature to 200C/400F/Gas mark 6. Warm the butter in a pan and gently fry the onions until soft. Add the red wine, vinegar, honey, thyme, salt and a few grinds of pepper. Stir and increase the heat. Cook until almost all the liquid is absorbed and the mixture is glossy; stir in the cooked beetroot and dill and season well. Cut the goat’s cheese into 1cm thick slices and arrange a few on the bottom of the tart. Tip over the beetroot mixture and place the rest of the goat’s cheese rounds on the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and golden. Scatter the dill fronds over the top and serve warm.
