    Shredded beetroot, caramelised onion & caraway filo tart

    • Preparation time: 10 minutes
    • Cooking time: 60 minutes
    • Total time: 1 hour 10 minutes 60 minutes 10 minutes

    Serves: 4

    Ingredients

    1½ tbsp olive oil, plus a little extra for brushing
    2 onions, thinly sliced
    1 tsp caraway seeds
    2-3 raw beetroot, scrubbed and coarsely grated
    4 British Blacktail Large Free Range Eggs
    100g cottage cheese
    1 lemon, zest
    60g Essential 50% Reduced Fat Mature Cheddar, coarsely grated
    270g pack 7 sheets filo
    Mixed salad leaves, to serve

    Method

    1. Preheat the oven to 180ºC, gas mark 4. Heat the oil in a large frying pan, then add the onion and caraway. Season with salt. Cover the pan with a lid and cook gently for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden (add a little water if it starts to dry).

    2. Take the lid off, turn the heat up and add the beetroot. Continue to cook for 10-12 minutes, until it loses lots of moisture. Turn off the heat and allow to cool a little. In a large bowl, beat together the eggs, cottage cheese, lemon zest and most of the Cheddar. Season and mix in the softened onion and beetroot.

    3. Brush a 28cm rectangular baking tray with a little olive oil. Drape in a sheet of filo, letting it overhang the sides. Brush with a little oil and repeat with the remaining filo. Scoop the onion and beetroot into the tart case. Tuck in the overhanging edges, scatter with the reserved Cheddar and bake for 25-30 minutes until set and golden. Allow to cool for 10 minutes, then slice and serve with the salad.

    Cook’s tip Cottage cheese is a fabulous recipe ingredient, but you could consider using ricotta instead, or perhaps some soft cheese. Other roots would work well too, as would butternut squash or even a waxy variety of potato.
