- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons psyllium husk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 50 grams butter cold, cubed
- cold water as required

- 1/2 onion sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter

- 1/2 teasoon dried rosemary

- 100 grams roasted pumpkin
- 100 grams feta
- 3 eggs
- 1/3 cup cream

Preheat the oven to 180C / 356F. Prepare a tart tin (20 - 25cm) by spraying with olive oil spray or greasing with butter.
Combine the dry ingredients for the base, breaking down any lumps. In a food processor, add the cubed butter and pulse a few times until the butter has broken down.
Check if the dough will combine together into a ball, and if not add cold water a tablespoon at a time until it holds together.Press into the tart tin and up the sides about 2cm. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes until just going brown.
Meanwhile, in a medium sized saucepan, melt the 2 tablespoons of butter for the filling and add the sliced onions and crushed garlic. Saute for 6 - 7minutes until the onions are caramelised.Add the rosemary and cook for a further minute. In the prepared tart base, distribute the roasted pumpkin and feta evenly over the base, and top wiht the sauted onion.
Add the baby spinach to the frying pan and saute until wilted, then distribute over the tart.
In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, salt and pepper and cream. Whisk to combine then pour over the tart, moving around the filling ingredients to ensure it distributes evenly.
Bake for 25 - 30 minutes until completely set. Serve cold or warm with a fresh garden salad.
