VEGAN LENTIL TOMATO TART

Vegan lentil tomato tart

A creative way to use lentils

Hi there! I’m eating with my eyes first for a moment…aren’t these tomatoes pretty? This vegan lentil tomato tart doesn’t just look pretty, it tastes delicious too with a lot of umami flavor and buttery crust (without butter ofc). It’s easy to make, and kid-friendly in every way – not too spicy but definitely not boring & flavorless either 😉

Kid-friendly lentil tart

I got the idea for this tart when I was making Lemony lentil taco salad which is one of my favorite salads ever and also loved by my four year old son who has previously not been a huge lentil fan. I wanted a comforting meal which would be simple to make for family lunch or picnic.

In my opinion lentils are not the prettiest food on their own, so they definitely required a colorful pair: tomatoes in bright colors. I’m so happy tomato season is here, as these thinly sliced red and yellow tomatoes have just the right kind of rich umami flavor that I often crave. If you’re craving comforting flavors too, here’s the recipe for you ♥

Love,

Tiina

You can easily make a gluten-free version of this delicious tart by using a gluten-free flour mix instead of spelt flour. 1 dl = 0,4 US cups / 1 US cup = 2,4 dl
Cuisine: vegan
Serves: 6
Ingredients
  • Lentils:
  • net weight 175 g / ~6 oz cooked red lentils
  • Spice mix:
  • ¼ cups / a little bit over 50 ml Extra virgin olive oil
  • 1,5 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 1,5 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 0,5 tsp garlic powder
  • 0,5 tsp maple syrup (or other sweetener)
  • 0,5 tsp salt (eg Himalayan salt)

  • Crust:
  • 1,5 dl / ½ cups + 1 tbsp (~50 grams) rolled oats
  • 1,5 dl / ½ cups + 1 tbsp (~100 grams) spelt flour or gluten-free flour mix
  • ½ tsp salt (eg Himalayan salt)
  • ⅓ cups (~50 grams) coconut oil, room temperature
  • 2-3 tbsp cold water or as needed

  • Toppings:
  • Lentils
  • ~4 mid sized tomatoes and 8 small ones
  • Optional: oregano, thyme or other herb (fresh or dry)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 200 C / 390 F.
  2. Drain and rinse lentils. Make the lentil spice by mixing all the ingredients in a bowl. Add cooked lentils and mix well until all are coated.
  3. Crust: mix dry ingredients. Add coconut oil and cold water until the dough is easy to handle - not crumbly, not too sticky either.
  4. Press the dough into a tart pan and the edges (pan about 24 cm in diameter).
  5. Spread lentil spice mixture on top.
  6. Cut tomatoes into thin slices.
  7. Place tomatoes on top of lentils, add herbs, and bake in the oven for about 20 minutes or until the tart edges are brown and the tomatoes look roasted.
  8. Serve this delicious tart with fresh vegetables and herbs.
