Method

Preheat the oven to gas 5, 190°C, fan 170°C. Melt the butter in a 25cm ovenproof frying pan, add the garlic and cook over a gentle heat for 2 mins. Add the sugar, stir until dissolved, then stir in the vinegar and bubble gently for 1 min. Don’t let the garlic burn.
Arrange the chicory, cut side up, in a single layer in the pan. Season and sprinkle with the rosemary and thyme. Cook for 5 mins. Turn the chicory and cook for 2 mins more. Remove the pan from the heat. Dry the beetroot wedges with kitchen paper and arrange in among the chicory.
Unroll the pastry and cut out a circle 2cm larger than the pan. Lay the pastry over the chicory, tucking the excess underneath. Bake for 20 mins until the pastry is risen  and golden. Turn out onto a serving plate and scatter over the walnuts and blue cheese to serve.
