Squash, kale, caramelised onion & feta tarts

Method

• step 1

  Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Use the pastry to line four individual deep tart tins – around 12-15cm – or a 20cm, round deep tart tin. Line with baking paper, fill with baking beans and bake for 15 minutes, then remove the beans and paper and bake for 5 minutes more.

• step 2

  Meanwhile, soften the onions in the oil in a large frying pan until really soft. Increase the heat and continue frying until golden brown and caramelised, then add the squash cubes for a couple of minutes. Add a mugful of water and simmer until all the water has evaporated and the squash is just about cooked but still has a bite.

• step 3

  Stir in the chilli flakes with some seasoning. Steam or blanch the kale over or in a pan full of boiling water for a couple of minutes until tender. Dry or drain well.

• step 4

  Whisk the eggs, cream, dill and 50g of the feta – very finely crumbled. Season with pepper and a little salt. Crumble the remaining feta into bigger chunks and arrange in the pastry case with the onion-squash mixture and kale. Pour over the dill cream, then sprinkle with the pine nuts.

• step 5

  Bake large tarts for 25-30 minutes, individual tarts for 18-22 until the filling is set.
