Add some zest to your festive spread with Nicci Gurr’s colourful Christmas Spiral seasonal tart, inspired by her bountiful smallholding and created using locally sourced and free-range ingredients

1. Preheat oven to 190˚C. Grease and line a 22cm (8 inch) fluted tart tin.
2. Cube your cold butter into a bowl with the sifted flours in, rub together with your fingers until like breadcrumbs. Slowly add warm water, mixing with a knife until combined. Cover and pop in the fridge for 20 minutes.
3. Next, take your parsnips, carrots and celery and peel lengthways from top to tip to form long strips. Take the kale and slice into long strips of a similar size.
4. Roll out your pastry and place it carefully in the tart ring – pressing into the edges. Prick the bottom, cover with parchment paper and baking beans (or dried beans) and blind bake for 20 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, add the olive oil to a frying pan and sauté your onions and garlic until translucent.
6. Take out the tart base and remove the baking beans and parchment. Add the onions and Wonderchup, using the back of a spoon to help get into the corners.
7. Starting from the outside of the tart, lay the strips of vegetables alternately, standing on their side, until all the strips are used up and you’ve made a spiral pattern.
8. Bake at 190˚C for 25 minutes. Serve straight away or cold as part of a boxing day lunch.
