Or for the shortcrust pastry:
- 1 cup 125g flour (whole wheat or spelt)
- ¾ cup 75g almond flour
- 1 tablespoon ground flax seed
- 2 pinches salt
- ⅜ cup 90g almond butter
- 1-2 tablespoon cold water
Other
- 1 lbs + 5 oz 600 g green asparagus
- 2-3 tablespoon pine nuts
Ingredients for the filling:
- 1 onion
- 2 cloves of garlic
- ⅓ cup + 1 tbsp 100ml almond milk
- ⅔ cup 100g cashews
- a bit less than ¼ cup 50 ml white wine, alternatively water
- ¼ cup 50g soft tofu
- 2 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt
- Pepper
- Nutmeg
- Cayenne pepper
- Chives
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) or 400°F (200°C) for puff pastry. If you are making a shortcrust pastry, briefly knead all the ingredients into a crumbly shortcrust pastry. Keep the dough cold as long as you prepare the remaining ingredients. And soak the cashews in hot water for about 10 minutes.
- Cut the peeled onion and garlic into fine cubes. Now heat the onion in a pan over medium heat and add a little water every now and then. Braise the onion until it is glassy. Now add the garlic and briefly steam it. For about 1 minute. Now deglaze the onions with white wine.
- Add the drained cashews and the remaining ingredients, except for the onion and the garlic, in a high-performance mixer and mix until they are creamy. Season with chives, salt, pepper, nutmeg and cayenne pepper.
- Add the sauce to the onions and bring to a boil briefly while stirring.
- Wash the asparagus and cut off woody ends. Shorten them to fit your pan later.
- Braise the asparagus in a pan for about 5 minutes. This is how the asparagus unfolds its full taste.
- Now put the shortcrust pastry or puff pastry into the tart pan and bake for 10 min.
- Briefly roast the pine nuts in a pan without oil.
- Now put a layer of asparagus on the tart. You can use cut ends that you cut to fit the asparagus spears.
- Now pour the cream over it and put the asparagus pieces on it. Depending on the shape, in a circle or in a row. Spread the pine nuts on it.
- Bake the tart in the oven for about 20 minutes. Puff Pastry will take a bit longer. It is best to let the tart cool for about 10 minutes before cutting.
