  I make this frequently for lunches. It freezes extremely well. It's amazing with homemade coleslaw. I also add 50g of grated cheddar.

  Oh dear. Despite my best efforts, I must have had a hole in the pastry somewhere, cos most of the milk/eggs have leaked out on to the bottom of the oven. On the plus side, it's only me and my husband here...

  Very easy to make and definitely worth the effort. I had some trouble keeping the pastry together so ended up patching it in the dish. Turned out good though.

  I reduced the quantities to make a smaller tart but found that the beetroot juices made it all a bit runny & it didnt set properly. Also a bit bland despite me crumbling goats cheese on top before baking. Pastry was good though & will definately use this again for savory tarts - didnt have any of the problems with it that others have reported.

  Has anyone tried this with pre-bought pastry? I have some shortcrust left over that I would like to use. Should I bake blind before adding the mix? Also does the beetroot need to be cooked before grating?

  Absolutely srcummy! I love the pastry although it was a bit too much for my flan tin. THe beetroot though was very juicy and made the pastry go soggy so next time I make it I'll put a tablespoon of flour in with the milk and eggs mixture. Delicious.

  I used vacuum packed, cooked beetroot but was a little soggy, I wonder if it'd work or be better with fresh beetroot? Bethan, I would recommend the carrotty pastry, it has lots of flavour and is healthier too, but shop bought I'm sure would work. Was really good lukewarm or cold. Also added salt, pepper, grated nutmeg and a couple of handfuls of double gloucester.

  I used fresh beetroot and it did fully cook, we ate ours with feta crumbled on top which was nice. however my filling did all leak out so make sure there are no gaps/cracks when doing the pastry, or maybe line your tin with foil before pressing in otherwise it will all get stuck. also, next time to stop the soggy base i might try putting the onions on the base then the beetroot then a cheese topping.

  I just made this, all veg was picked from the garden this afternoon and the eggs were laid yesturday. Despite this it was not to our taste at all. The crust was not soggy at all but it is quite bland and the filling although it was nicely set and the fresh beet was cooked to perfection is was just so dissappointing in the taste department.

  Sounds like it needs more seasoning than recipe provides? Does it work if the carrot is in the tart and not part of the pastry?

  The pastry was excellent, no trouble to make and tasted great. I think the filling is missing something though, maybe a sharp goats cheese crumbled through it, or a little balsamic splashed in with the onions, just to liven it up.

  As another reviewer suggested, I added some balsamic to the onions and crumbled feta cheese in with the mixture: tasted great! And the base was indeed very good as per the recipe.

  Nice simple recipe. Used raw beetroot and gave it a squeeze to get rid of some of the juice before adding to the pie. Needs seasoning which I did in the pastry mix and the egg mix. I didn't even attempt to roll the pastry but pressed it into the dish. I also added spring onions to the pastry and the second time I made it added bits of cooked chicken. Simple, healthy and nice to add or make changes to.
