Ingredients

1 squash - washed, sliced, seeds removed

1 tbs olive oil

salt and pepper

1 red onion

1 red pepper

1 knob of butter (or oil if you prefer)

2-3 sprigs rosemary

1 tsp balsamic vinegar

1 tsp brown sugar

I pack ready-made puff pastry

2 tbs tomato or other chutney

50 -100g goats cheese

handful of pine nuts

 

 

Method

I started off by roasting the squash with olive oil, salt and pepper for 30 minutes, turning half way through. While the squash roasted I caramelised a red onion and a sweet red pepper on a low heat. For this I used a knob of butter and a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper. The towards the end added some rosemary, 1 tsp of balsamic vinegar and 1 tsp of brown sugar. 

I let the squash and caramelised onion and pepper cool a bit while I rolled out the pastry and scored and edge around it. I left the pastry on the side for 10 mins before assembling (this helps with avoiding too much pastry shrinkage). Then, I spread 2 tbsps of @cherrytreepreserves tomato chutney on the base, followed by the caramelised onion and pepper, then the goat's cheese, the sliced squash and some pine nuts. 

I baked it for 25 minutes on a medium-high heat, until golden, left it for 5 minutes before serving with a leafy green salad. Delicious!
