Savory Asparagus Tart

April 28, 2011 by epicureanvegan

Savory Asparagus Tart -- Epicurean VeganWhen I open my own vegan restaurant, this tart will be a signature item on the menu! And look, I’m sharing my secret recipe with all of you now! The Husband was on a conference call when I took this out of the oven and took a bite. You have no idea how difficult it was to not eat his portion; he would have never known. But of course, I couldn’t do that to him—it’s a recipe you’ll want to share and enjoy with others.

INGREDIENTS:
1 puff pastry dough, thawed
1 C Daiya or other vegan cheeze, shredded
1 bunch asparagus
2 Tbs olive oil
1-1/2 tsp truffle oil
Salt and pepper, to taste

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 400. Roll the pastry sheet out to about 11″x7″. Place onto a baking sheet. Using a fork, puncture the dough all over.

Bake for 5 minutes, or until it begins to brown. You may need to press down on the dough with a spoon if it puffed up in places.

Sprinkle the cheese onto the dough, then line the asparagus—close together—on top. I just cut the stalks in half (after cutting of the thick ends) and placed them like so:

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, truffle oil, salt, and pepper. Brush the mixture onto the asparagus , thoroughly coating the tops. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the edges of the tart begin to brown. Remove from the pan (I used two spatulas on either end) and transfer to a large cutting board. Cut into squares and enjoy!

    I’m vegan but gluten-free, but this looks yummy. I may have to try something like this. Looks yummy!

      I would think it would be tough being both vegan and gluten-free! Just tonight, I tried making a vegan-gluten-free fruit pie and it was a disaster! Do you know of any good gluten-free/vegan pie crust recipes? I would like to start veering toward less flour/gluten in my cooking, so hopefully soon, they’ll be more recipes here that you can make and enjoy, too!

    The timing of your post is perfect: we just bought asparagus to cook this weekend and will definitely try this recipe! Sounds light, nutritious and very tasty. Thank you for sharing and for the pictures, very helpful!

The Epicurean Vegan is devoted to those wanting to eat healthy, save animals, and reduce their carbon footprint. My decision to go vegan started out as a quest to get healthier, but the more I learned about veganism, the more I realized how damaging the meat and dairy industries are to the environment and, of course, the animals. And it is for these reasons, that I would never go back to eating or wearing animal products. Ever.
