Vegan Leek And Tomato Tart Recipes

VEGAN LEEK AND TOMATO TART

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180ºC/350ºF. Line a baking sheet with baking paper and set aside.
• Prepare the Spicy Chilli Oil by placing the oil and the dry red chili in a small saucepan, and bring to boil for one minute. After that, remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. Store in an airtight bottle or jar.
• Unfold the puff pastry and place it onto prepared baking sheet.
• Use a sharp knife to score the perimeter of the dough 1-inch from the edge, making sure not to cut all the way through the dough. Prick pastry in a few places with a fork inside the scored rectangle so that the center of the pastry does not puff in the oven.
• Spread the cream cheese on the pastry, arrange the sliced leeks and the halved tomatoes over the cheese. Drizzle everything with spicy chili oil, around 2 tablespoons, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Bake in oven for 15 minutes or until the edges of pastry are browned, puffed, and crisp. Let tart cool 10 minutes before cutting into pieces.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 425F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment or a baking mat.
• In a small bowl, whisk together soy milk and maple syrup. Set aside.
• On a lightly floured work surface roll out puff pastry into a 9-by-13-inch rectangle about ⅛ inch thick. Transfer the rectangle to the prepared baking sheet.
• Score a 1-inch border around the edge and use a fork to prick the center all over.
• Brush the entire sheet with the soy milk mixture, and bake for 15 mins. Place on a wire cooling rack to cool.
• In a food processor blend together, feta, and a garlic clove. Stir in dill.
• Push down the center of the pull pastry with a spoon or your hands, leaving the border edge puffed.
• Spread the feta mixture all over the center of the puff pastry, and top with tomato slices.
• Sprinkle with capers, salt and pepper and garnish with additional fresh dill. Drizzle with olive oil if using.
• Cut into quarters and serve.

LEEK AND TOMATO GRATIN

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350. Trim the leeks of the hard green parts and outer skin, and wash them well. If they're fat, quarter them the long way. Chop the tomatoes and put them in a gratin dish long enough to hold the leeks but narrow enough so that everything is snug. Add the oil and nestle the leeks in there; sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Bake, checking and stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes become saucy and the leeks are very, very tender, about an hour. If you like, sprinkle with Parmesan and raise the heat until the cheese melts and browns a bit. Otherwise, sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve hot or warm.
