Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Lightly spray a 12cm x 35cm loose-bottomed flan tin with oil. Stack the filo sheets on top of each other, spraying lightly with oil in between, then use to line the flan tin, trimming to fit.
- Bake for 6-7 minutes until crisp and lightly golden. Set aside to cool.
- Meanwhile, pat all the vegetables well with kitchen paper to remove any excess oil, then cut into bite-size pieces and toss gently with the olives, lemon juice and a little pepper.
- Mix the ricotta, pesto, lemon zest and some salt and pepper in a bowl, then carefully spread
- over the base of the cooled pastry. Arrange the vegetable mixture evenly on top. Return to the oven for 5 minutes to warm through.
- Scatter over the basil leaves, then slice into 4 and serve with a green salad, if you like.
