As summer's sun-kissed tomatoes overflowed in our garden, we decided it was time to try our hand at a savory almond flour tomato tart. The idea of combining the earthy flavor of almonds with the juicy sweetness of ripe tomatoes seemed irresistible.

Ingredients

For the Almond Flour Crust

  • 2 ½ cups almond flour
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp butter, melted
  • 1 egg

For Tart 1

  • 3 tbsp ricotta or your favorite vegan cheese
  • 3 tbsp basil pesto, homemade or store-bought
  • 1 ½ cups cherry tomatoes or 3 large tomatoes
  • fresh basil

For Tart 2

  • 2 cups pineapple tomatillos, husked
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • Splash of vanilla

Directions

For the Almond Flour Crust

STEP 1
Preheat oven to 375°F/190°C. Lightly grease a 9 inch loose bottom pie/tart pan. Set it aside.

STEP 2
Add the almond flour and salt to a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine.

STEP 3
Stir in the butter. Mix until you get a soft, sandy-like texture. Add the egg and mix until a soft dough comes together.

STEP 4
Transfer the dough to a 9 inch pie plate. Use your hands to press the dough into the pie dish to form your crust. Prick a few holes across the bottom of the crust.

STEP 5
Place in the middle of the oven and bake for 10 minutes.

For Tart 1

STEP 1
Mix the ricotta and pesto together in a small bowl. Set aside.

STEP 2
Cut each tomato in half and scoop out the watery seeds. This will help prevent the water from the tomatoes from seeping out into the crust as they cook. If using larger tomatoes slice the tomatoes and place in the oven on a sheet for approx. 1-2 hours to remove access moisture.

STEP 3
When the crust has finished par baking: spread the pesto mixture across the bottom of the crust.

STEP 4
Top the tart with tomatoes, cut side down.

STEP 5
Place back in the middle of the oven and bake for another 30 minutes. The edges should be golden-brown.

STEP 6
Let cool about 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Top with freshly basil and enjoy.

For Tart 2

STEP 1
Mix the ricotta and honey together in a small bowl. Set aside.

STEP 2
Pre the pineapple tomatillos by removing the husk

STEP 3
When the crust has finished par baking: spread the ricotta mixture across the bottom of the crust.

STEP 4
Place the tomatillos on top of the ricotta mixture.

STEP 5
Place back in the middle of the oven and bake for another 30 minutes. The edges should be golden-brown.

STEP 6
Let cool about 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Top with honey and edible flowers.
