Savory Tart w/zucchini & roasted tomatoes




My inspiration for this meal came from 101 Cookbooks blog and the recipe is called a Lasagna Tart. It's a twist on lasagna but without the noodles. She uses ricotta as a filling then layers it with zucchini and a marinara on top of a crust. My version: First of all I didn't do any layering. I started with a pinenut crust, then I made the tofu filling I use for my savory tarts or "quiche." I grilled up some zucchini rounds and spread them on top of the filling then topped the whole thing off with roasted tomatoes. For the roasted tomatoes I chopped up quite a few roma tomatoes, threw in some chopped garlic, olive, sea salt and roasted until most of the liquid was gone. Then I mixed in some chopped basil. Next it went into the oven for about 35 minutes.
Wallah! A savory tart with grilled zucchini & roasted tomatoes. It was a nice change from a lasagna or the usual tofu tart. We all really enjoyed it, served with a large green salad. It also tastes really good the next day right out of the refrigerator.

Tofu Onion Tart w/Lentil Sauce


This Tofu Onion Tart is sooooo goood! I once made this for my in-laws when my son was going to stay the night at their house. No one knew that it was made with tofu. They loved it! The recipe comes from the cookbook The Voluptuous Vegan by Myra Kornfeld , it actually uses leeks but I didn't have any on hand so I used onions. The lentil sauce goes so well with this. I served this with brocollini and salad. The nice thing is that you can change up the ingredients, once I made it with green chilli's, onion and corn, delish! There are alot of really good recipes in this book, and well worth the time spent.
