Directions
To make the Tart base;
Preheat your oven to 180C
Grease a round loose bottom pie pan with oil – I used a 19cm.
- Firstly make the Walnut meal by adding the nuts to a mini chopper or blender and blitzing until you get a fine meal.
- Make the flax egg by mixing the ground flax and water in a bowl – set aside to thicken.
- Add all the dry ingredients to a large bowl and mix to combine. Then add in the oil, almond milk, and flax egg. Mix thoroughly to form a dough.
- Transfer the dough to the tart pan and use your fingers to press into the bottom and up the sides. Poke a few holes with a fork across the bottom.
- Bake on 180c for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven.
Char the asparagus:
Add the asparagus to a griddle or frying pan with a little oil and cook for 3-4 minutes turning frequently until lightly charred. Set aside.
To make the filling
- Add all the ingredients to your food processor then blitz until smooth and creamy.
- Layer the filling mix across the bottom of the tart then top with the asparagus. Press in a little then add some peas.
- Drizzle with a little olive oil and sprinkle of sea salt
- Return to the oven and bake for 35 minutes. Allow cooling before removing the pan.
- Allow to cool and then sprinkle on fresh mint.
