Mushroom & Walnut Tart (vegan & gluten free)

December 9, 2020 / Niki / 8 Comments

I’m always on the hunt for tasty plant based festive centre piece recipes – as I guess many of us are. My Mushroom & Walnut Tart is perfect for that – delicious and a bit special.

The creamy filling is made from a combination of cashews and chickpeas or butter beans which add a little lightness to the mix. Then add in some nutritional yeast for cheesy-ness and the sun dried tomatoes add loads of flavour.

The juicy mushrooms are added at the end then topped with walnuts – so good.

Do you want to know the amazing thing about this recipe? The crust is made from tin chickpeas! How cool is that? So naturally gluten free and lower fat than pastry. Let me know what you think!

I love to serve this with;

Crispy potatoes

I really hope you love this delicious dish as much as I do; make sure to post and tag with @rebelrecipes #rebelrecipes if you make this dish so I can see and repost your gorgeous creations!

I'd love to know if you made this recipe.

This recipe is great! So beautiful! I roasted the onions for about 20 min. to get a little extra crispiness. My only challenge was transferring all the measurements (grams) to cups. I was too lazy to weigh everything (: Thank you for this inspiring, fun recipe! I needed something different and this was it!

Do you think this could be prepared the day before and reheated? Or would it be best making on the day?
