Instructions: Preheat the oven to 200 C/400 F/Gas Mark 6.

Place the flour, oatmeal and salt in a bowl.

Rub in the half fat spread until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add enough cold water to form a soft dough.

Roll the pastry out thinly on a lightly floured surface and use to line a 23cm (9inch) loose-bottomed flan tin. Lightly prick the base with a fork and chill for 10 minutes. Cover with greaseproof paper weighed down with dried beans.

Bake the flan case blind for 10 minutes.

Remove the beans and greaseproof paper and cook for a further 5 minutes.

Reduce the oven temperature to Gas Mark 4/180 C/350 F.

Meanwhile, for the filling, heat the oil in a large pan, add the onion, red pepper, courgette and mange tout and cook for 5-10 minutes. Place in the flan case.

Beat the eggs, milk and seasonings together and pour over the vegetables.

Place the flan in the oven and bake for 20-30 minutes until set. Serve with a green salad.
