Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Line a large baking tray with greaseproof paper.
- Toast the pecans for 5 mins in the oven. Set aside to cool.
- Mix together the ricotta, garlic, thyme, nutmeg, 1 egg and seasoning until well combined.
- Unroll one of the sheets of pastry and cut into a 20cm wide circle, using a plate or bowl as a template, if possible, then place on the lined baking tray. Take the second sheet of pastry out the fridge to come up to room temperature.
- Smooth a third of the ricotta on the pastry base, leaving a 2cm border around the edge, then arrange one-third of the beetroot over the ricotta. Repeat, layering the ricotta and beetroot until you’ve used all the ingredients, finishing with a layer of beetroot. Spoon over the onion chutney and sprinkle on the pecans.
- Brush the edges of the pastry base with a little egg, then smooth the second sheet of pastry over the filling, trimming to a circle so it is fully enclosed. Crimp the edges to seal in the filling, then cut a small steam hole in the centre of the pie. Use a sharp knife to score decorative lines into the pastry from the centre out, taking care not to cut all the way through. Brush with remaining egg.
