Pucker up with this delicious citrus tart. Rosy and creamy and with an added boost of protein in the crust, it’s a sweet finish to a lovely meal.
Per serving:
Chopped toasted pistachios and toasted coconut flakes, for garnish (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 F (180 C). Grease an 11 x 17 in (28 x 43 cm) tart pan with removable bottom.
In small bowl, combine ground flaxseed and water and stir to blend. Set aside to thicken.
In food processor, combine dry tart shell ingredients and blend. Add nondairy milk and coconut oil, along with thickened flaxseed. Continue to whirl until dough holds together. Transfer to greased tart pan and, using your fingers, press dough evenly over bottom and up sides of pan. Using fork, prick a few holes across dough in bottom of pan. Place in oven and bake for 20 minutes. Remove to rack to cool.
In small bowl, stir cornstarch and 2 Tbsp (30 mL) grapefruit juice together to make a smooth paste. Set aside.
In saucepan, add all filling ingredients except cornstarch mixture and garnishes. Simmer, stirring steadily over medium heat until everything is blended and smooth. Reduce heat to low and gently whisk in cornstarch mixture. Simmer over low heat, stirring constantly until mixture is thick enough to coat a metal spoon. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly. Pour cooled filling into baked tart shell. Smooth the surface with palette knife. Sprinkle with additional fresh rosemary and refrigerate overnight to firm.
Garnish with toasted pistachios and toasted coconut flakes before cutting into wedges and serving.
This vegan take on classic shepherd’s pie is jam-packed with bold and rich flavours that will ensure no one will miss the meat. While a great source of fibre, lentils also contain the highest amount of folate out of all plant-based foods. Oven ready If you don’t have an ovenproof skillet, you’ll need to transfer cooked lentil filling to a baking dish before topping with mashed sweet potatoes and baking.
Cauliflower has been having a moment lately, and this salad proves exactly why. Tender caramelized cauliflower is crowned in a glorious sweet and savoury crumble that will ensure it a place on your table all month long. Of all tree nuts, pecans have the highest concentration of flavonoids, which offer beneficial anti-inflammatory effects, and they also protect your cells from oxidative damage. Crumble perfection This crumble topping is too good not to use it on other preparations. Sprinkle over a carrot ribbon salad to add some extra pizzazz, use as a glorious garnish on a soup or stew, or consider generously spooning over your next vegetable “steak” to add some delicious textural variation.
This gloriously comforting dish gets its creamy lusciousness from a can of white beans. Feel free to use whatever vegetables you have on hand instead of broccoli. Pass the pasta Instead of regular pasta, consider serving this sauce over zucchini noodles, carrot noodles, or cooked spaghetti squash.
This nut-free take on classic queso dip is everything you want and more. Paired with chips, crackers, or crudités, this creamy, zesty, smoky, and oh-so-satisfying dip is easy enough to whip up for a cozy snack or as an appetizer for company. Go nuts! If you’re okay to eat nuts, try substituting sunflower seeds with 1 cup (250 mL) raw cashews.
