Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Pulse the flour, oats and butter in a food processor until crumb-like, add the grated carrot and continue to process until the mixture comes together to form a ball. Alternatively rub the butter into the dry ingredients, add the carrots and press together until a ball is formed. Carefully roll out the pastry and line a metal 25cm pizza dish or shallow tart case. Chill.

  • step 2

    Gently cook the onions in oil for about 15-20 mins until beginning to caramelise. Place the beetroot in the pastry case and cover with the onions. Whisk the eggs and milk together, season and pour over the onions and beetroot. Bake in the oven, lowering to 160C/140C fan/ gas 3 after 15 mins, for 40 mins or until firm and golden.

Awesome pastry. I didn't bother with the rolling faff, just squashed it into the quiche dish like a cheesecake crumb and it came out perfectly. Maybe NZ beetroots are bigger than UK ones as I ended up with way more than would fit in the dish.

Can you freeze this. If so how do you warm for eating?

Delicious. I added some leftover cheese too. I thought there would be some leakage but there was none. Very tasty!

A disappointing recipe-however I treat the beetroot it produces so much liquid it makes the pastry very soggy. The only taste comes from the onion. I grated the beetroot finely in a food processor and tried to remove some of the liquid. I’m wondering if I should have added some cheese to the…

I baked the cubed beetroot at 150C for 20 minutes, then let it cool completely, before adding it to the tart base.

I’ve tried this recipe twice, can’t get it to have any flavour. I’ve tried the tips such as adding balsamic and salt, but still no joy.
