How to cook deliciously - Plant-Based Tomato Tart

1 . Stage

Soak the cashews in water for at least 1 hour, up to 8 hours.

2 . Stage

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

3 . Stage

Drain cashews. Combine cashews, chickpeas, broth, seeded jalapeno, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic, miso paste, salt, and pepper in a blender; blend until smooth and creamy. Set aside to allow flavors to meld.

4 . Stage

Put the pie crust into an 11-inch tart pan. (A 9-inch pie crust should be the right size because a tart pan is only about an inch shallow. If necessary, just roll out the pie crust a bit to stretch it out.)

5 . Stage

Layer two pieces of foil over the pie crust. Fill it with beans or pie weights. Turn down the heat to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

6 . Stage

Bake the pie crust in the preheated oven for 11 minutes. Remove from oven and take away foil and weights.

7 . Stage

Brush pie crust with 1 teaspoon olive oil. Poke a few holes in it with a fork and continue baking for 6 minutes. Remove and let cool. Turn down the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

8 . Stage

Cut tomatoes into 1/4 inch rounds. Remove the seeds. Cut the other jalapeno into rings.

9 . Stage

Spread cashew mixture into the pre-baked pie crust. Layer tomato slices on top, overlapping if necessary. Place jalapeno rings over the pie. Drizzle remaining olive oil on top. Sprinkle with paprika and 1/4 teaspoon flaky salt.

10 . Stage

Bake in the preheated oven until browned and tomatoes have begun to caramelize, 30 to 40 minutes. Cool before serving.
