Method
- Preheat oven to 160C. Spread tomatoes on a large roasting tray and drizzle with olive oil, then roast for 1hr 20 mins until cooked through and softened. Spread courgette slices and red onion wedges evenly over a baking tray and put in the oven for the last 30 min of the tomatoes’ cooking time.
- To make the pastry, blitz all ingredients in a food processor to form a dough. Roll out to thickness of a £1 coin, and use to line springform tin. Bake blind for 15-18 min, then remove beans and bake for another 10 min, until golden brown, crispy and cooked through.
- Take pastry out of oven and allow to cool. In a bowl, mix together the Philadelphia, pesto, lemon juice and capers. Spread the mixture evenly over the cooled tart base, then top with roasted veg and serve.
