Caramelised Onion, Beetroot and Crumbled Cheese Tart by Annie West


I found this recipe a couple of years ago when I was looking for something a little different to share with the family in summer. Something with taste that was easy to make and looked good too. The caramelised onion gives a nutty sweetness that contrasts well with the rest. We loved it! Hope you do too.



Caramelised Onion, Beetroot and Crumbled Cheese Tart Serves 8

50 g butter
4 red onions, thinly sliced
2 tablespns brown sugar
1 tablespn balsamic vinegar
3 medium beetroot, trimmed,
2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed
Oil spray
150g goats’ cheese or feta (Mr West isn’t a fan of goats’ cheese so I swapped)
¾ cup cream, whipped
1 tablespn horseradish cream
rocket leaves

1.       Melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, stirring occasionally for about 30 mins, or until caramelised. Stir in vinegar and sugar.

2.       Meanwhile, boil the beetroot until tender. Drain and cool. Peel and slice thinly.

3.       Preheat oven to 200 degrees C (400 F, gas mark 6).. Join pastry sheets by overlapping the edges and pressing together. Lightly spray tin with oil 19x27 oblong loose-based tart tin with oil and press pastry into it. Trim the excess and prick with a fork. Note – I don’t have this size tin so I used two separate tins.  Freeze for 10 mins. Remove from freezer, line with baking paper and fill with baking beans or rice. Bake for 10 mins. Remove paper and beans/rice then cook for another 5-10 mins till golden.

4.       Spread onion mix over pastry, then cover with beetroot. Spray with oil. Bake for 10 mins then sprinkle over the cheese.

5.       Combine cream and horseradish in a serving bowl. Cut tart into pieces, serve with horseradish cream and rocket.

    1. Jill, it's a very earthy flavour. Nice to mix with greens, walnuts and cheese. You don't need a huge amount but this one is a nice blend.

  16. Beets seem to be making a comeback. Brussels sprouts, too. Can't say I was a fan of either when I was a kid, but I might try the tart just to give beets a second chance. Thanks for the recipe.

  17. Looks and sounds fabulous I would never have thought of adding beetroot to a quiche. You can't go wrong with caramelised onions and cheese, I think!
