Freeform roasted pumpkin, feta and olive tart Olive-Tart

Rosemary pastry
  •          - 280 grams plain flour
  •          - 180 grams butter
  •          - 1 tablespoon rosemary - finely chopped
  •          - 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
  •          - 1 egg yolk
  •          - 2 tablespoons water

Rub butter into combined flour, salt, pepper and finely chopped rosemary.  Add egg yolk and water mixing to form dough, and knead lightly.  Rest for 30 minutes.

Filling
  • 3 cups jap pumpkin - peeled and diced
  • 1 red onion - sliced into wedges
  • 1 cup feta cheese - crumbled
  • 12 pitted kalamata olives
  • 2 eggs
  • 1⁄2 cup cream

Pre-heat oven to 200ºC.  Toss pumpkin and onion in a little oil and roast at 180º C for 20 minutes.  Roll out pastry into a 5cm thick circle.  Leaving 5cm from the edge place the roasted pumpkin, onion and 1/2 of the feta into the centre of pastry.  Fold edges upward pinching together at regular intervals to hold it in place.  Place remaining cheese and olives on top.  Bake in a hot oven for 10 minutes, then carefully pour in combined egg and cream ensuring it does not over flow.  Reduce temperature to 190º C and bake for a further 25 minutes.
