- Preheat the oven to 180 (oC/fan) or 160 (oC/gas 4). Place the onions, courgettes and red pepper slices into a roasting pan and drizzle with oil, sprinkle over the paprika as well as the chives. Roast for about 15mins until just tender.
- Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and set aside.
- Increase the temperature of the oven to 190 (oC/fan) 170 (oC/gas 3). Place the pastry on a piece of baking parchment onto a baking tray.
- Measure a 1 ½ cm edge around the pastry, using a sharp knife cut out the edge, carefully not to slice all the way through.
- Using a fork, prick the inner rectangle of the pastry and brush with egg wash. Bake for 20mins until golden.
- Remove from the oven and press the inner pastry rectangle down slightly.
- Combine the basil pesto and ricotta and spread over the pastry leave the edge.
- Arrange the roasted vegetable on top and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Drizzle over a little rapeseed oil.
- Sprinkle over the feta and bake for about 7 to 8 mins until the feta is slightly golden.
- Arrange the chive lengths on top and serve immediately.
Tip:
Any vegetables can be used like roasted sweet potatoes, cherry tomatoes and artichokes and sprinkle over chopped rosemary.
