- 1 large beetroot (250g), peeled and cut into 1/2 cm wedges
- 1 large red onion (200g), peeled and cut into 1/2 cm wedges
- 30g olive oil
- 10g Balsamic vinegar
- 1 star anise pods
- 1/2 tsp Himalayan sea salt
- 100g semi-dried tomatoes, drained
- 1 batch of your favourite grain-free pastry
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 175C and prepare an 8in springform cake tin.
- Place the beetroot, onions, olive oil, Balsamic vinegar, star anise and sea salt in a large bowl and toss to coat evenly.
- Lay the beetroot wedges around the base of the tin with the onion and star anise. Cover the tin with foil and bake for 1 hour or until the beetroot slices are soft.
- Make the pastry while the tart is cooking and roll to about 2 cm thick and cut out a circle the same size as your cake tin.
- Remove the foil and add the semi-dried tomatoes to the cooked vegetables pushing them into the cracks to make a firm layer of vegetables.
- Lower the oven temperature to 160C.
- Lay the pastry sheet on top of the vegetables and cook for 30-40 mins or until the pastry is golden and cooked.
- Cool slightly in the tin then put a plate over the tart and tip upside down so the tart is now on the pastry. Slice and serve with salad and coconut yoghurt.
