Heritage carrot and ricotta tart

1. 1

   To make the pastry, add the flour and butter to a food processor and blend together, adding the iced water to bind. Wrap the dough in cling film and chill for 30 minutes in the fridge.

2. 2

   Dust a clean work surface with a little flour, then roll out the chilled dough into a 25x20cm rectangle. Brush the edge with beaten egg. Chill again for at least 1 hour.

3. 3

   To make the heritage carrot and ricotta tart, preheat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7.

4. 4

   In a clean food processor, blend together the ricotta with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt and plenty of black pepper until smooth.

5. 5

   Spread this mixture into the centre of the pastry rectangle, leaving the egg washed border all around, then bake for 15 minutes.

6. 6

   In a bowl, toss the carrot ribbons with 2 tablespoons olive oil, caraway and corianders, garlic, lemon juice and zest. Scatter the carrots over the tart, reserving the rest of the dressing left in the bowl. Bake the tart for another 12 minutes or so.

7. 7

   Spoon the remaining dressing over the tart and sprinkle over the coriander leaves to finish. Serve.
