A lovely mushroom and walnut tart – perfect for that delicious and special occasion. A nutty crust and ‘cheesy’ mushroom filling.
Jump to Recipe
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 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.
I added the juicy mushrooms at the end then topped with walnuts–so good.
Do you want to know the amazing thing about this recipe? I made the crust 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 withmy crushed potatoes with spinach and basil pesto,my smoky butterbean hummus and mint dip, and a yummy crisp slaw.
Love, Niki xxx

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

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.

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!
