Asparagus Tart

Prep time - 20 minutes

Cook time - 50 minutes

Difficulty - Medium

Serves / makes - 4 portions


Ingredients

1 x 280g roll of gluten free puff pastry

300g silken tofu

150g gram flour (or plain flour but you may need to adjust the liquid content)

1/2-1t salt

1/2 stock cube

1t fresh thyme

25g walnuts

50g fine asparagus

1 orange 


Equipment

Tart tin

Sharp knife

Jug

Hand blender


Method

  1. Heat your oven to 180c/360f/GM4.

  2. Line a tart tin with the puff pastry, so the base and sides are covered with pastry. Prick the bottom of the tart with a sharp knife. Put the tart base into the oven, bake it for around 15-20 minutes until the edges are starting to brown.

  3. Put the tofu, flour, salt, stock and thyme in a jug. Blend with a hand blender until it is completely smooth. Break the walnuts up in your hands and add to the jug. 

  4. Pour the mixture into the tart base. Add the asparagus and return the tart to the oven for a further 15-20 minutes until the tofu mixture is almost cooked through. 

  5. Finely slice the oranges and place them on the tart. Bake the tart for another 10 minutes until the oranges are partly dehydrated. 

  6. Remove from the oven and serve immediately. 


Tips 

  • In this recipe the orange needs to be sliced as thinly as possible.
