Ingredients
-
Pastry:
225g Organic spelt flour (or other wholemeal flour)
110g soya margarine
1tbsp extra virgin olive oil
60ml water
Filling:
3 large onions, cut into thin slices
1tbsp extra virgin olive oil
4 large eggs
8 asparagus spears, cut into 2" lengths
1 cup milk
salt and pepper to taste (optional)
60g grated strong cheddar cheese
Directions
1. Make pastry by rubbing the margarine into the flour and then adding the water and oil at once. Leave to rest in the fridge for a while (it is easier to roll when rested and doesn't shrink in the cooking).
2. While the pastry is resting, put the sliced onions in a pan with a tablespoon olive oil and cook until caramelised. This takes about 30 minutes. Stir occasionally to stop sticking.
3. Roll the pastry out thinly and line an 8" deep flan dish with it. Bake blind for 15 minutes at 210ºC. Cool slightly.
4. Whisk the eggs and milk together with any seasoning, beating well.
5. Spread the onions on the pastry base and arrange the asparagus on top (you can make a nice pattern if you are feeling artistic!).
6. Sprinkle the cheese over the asparagus and then pour on the egg mixture.
7. Bake for about 45 minutes until the filling rises well and is golden on top.
8. Cool the flan until warm and serve with a green salad.
