Equipment needed to make sweet pepper and fennel tart

  • Chopping board
  • Sharp knife
  • Medium sized roasting tin
  • 20cm diameter non-stick loose bottomed flan dish
  • Pastry brush
  • Whisk
  • Medium sized bowl to whisk the eggs
  • Small dish (for the olive oil when brushing filo)

How to make sweet pepper and fennel tart

First, cut the red pepper into chunks, slice the mushrooms, leek and courgette and roast in olive oil until soft. Set aside to cool.

To make the pastry case, take one sheet of filo and lay across the non-stick loose bottomed flan dish and brush with olive oil. Fold the overhanging edges of the filo into the pastry case. Repeat with the second and third sheets. When cooked, the pastry case looks more attractive if the three layers of filo are folded into the pastry case separately rather than altogether.

Form a pastry case with the filo sheets

Lay the spinach in the base of the pastry case. Add half the roast vegetables and arrange evenly over the base of the pastry case.

Place the spinach and half the roast vegetables in the pastry case

Crumble the feta cheese (100g) and arrange evenly in the pastry case on top of the other vegetables.

Whisk the eggs (4 eggs) and pour into the pastry case over the other ingredients. Chop the fennel. Arrange the remaining half of the roast vegetables and the fennel evenly over the other ingredients.

Preparing sweet pepper and fennel tart
Crumble the feta onto the vegetables, add the whisked egg, remaining vegetables and fennel

Cook at 180oC, 350oF, gas mark 4 in the centre of the oven. The tart will be cooked when the egg mixture is firm and the pastry is golden but check regularly to make sure the pastry doesn't burn. If the pastry looks to be cooking too quickly then an oversized pan lid can be carefully placed over the tart. If you have an Aga, place the tart on the grid shelf of the floor of the roasting oven and cook as above.

Tips

  1. The tart can be served hot, straight from the oven, or cold. If you plan to serve cold, allow to cool and then store in the fridge before serving.
  2. Work quickly with the filo sheets to prevent them drying out. Wrap any unused sheets straight away and return to the fridge.
