  • 20ml butter
  • 50ml extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 200g red spring onions, sliced
  • 10ml fresh dill, chopped

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Lightly grease a 24cm springform loose-bottomed baking tin.

2

Melt the butter and olive oil in a frying pan and sauté the garlic and onion for about a minute. Add the dill, leeks, baby marrow and spinach, and stir to coat well. Season and cook for a further 10 minutes.

Line the bottom and sides of the tin with the phyllo, leaving a little to overlap.

Carefully spoon the spinach mixture in and fold in the overlaps. Decoratively place the whole red spring onions around the tart.

Serve with the rocket while still hot.
