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!

Did you know that I have a new cookbook?
It's called Rebel Recipes and I'm so proud of it. If you like my recipes I know you'll love my cookbook - It took me over a year to develop (and years in the making) and it's packed with deliciously vibrant veg packed recipes!

Do you think this would freeze ok? Perhaps freezing it before the final baking stage and then baking from frozen for about 10 minutes longer? I’m hosting for about 15 people over the holidays, so doing as much preparation beforehand is essential.
Thanks, Jenny
I haven’t tried but i think so xx
Hi Niki

[…] Mushroom & Walnut Tart – this is perfect for a larger crowd as it feeds plenty, with slices left over for tomorrow’s lunch. The mushrooms add a meaty texture and the walnuts are the perfect pairing for any variety of vegetable dishes. […]

Do you think this could be prepared the day before and reheated? Or would it be best making on the day?
Hi Laura
I think it would be fine re-heated.
Best

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!
Amazing!
So happy you liked xxx
