1 x red onion, cut into 1cm wedges

Directions
Preheat the oven to 200⁰C. Place the pumpkin and onion on a roasting tray, drizzle with some extra virgin olive oil, and sprinkle with some salt and pepper and place in the oven for 20-25 minutes (or until just tender).

Meanwhile, combine the spelt flour and thyme with a pinch of salt and pepper and then whisk together oil and water before adding to the dry mixture. Combine well. Press into a 20cm cast iron pan or similar size pie dish and press to even out along the bottom and the edges.

Combine the eggs with the milk and a pinch of salt and pepper and whisk well. Scatter the pumpkin and onion on the crust and then pour over the egg mixture, shaking the pan and using a spoon to press down to evenly distribute. Top with ricotta and extra thyme. Bake at 180⁰C for 35-40 minutes or until set. Serve with side salad of choice.
