Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup chilled coconut oil
• 4 tablespoons chilled water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
• 3 medium ripe heirloom tomatoes
• 1 cup raw cashews
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
• 10 fresh basil leaves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and fresh thyme.

Step 3

Add the chilled coconut oil and use a pastry cutter or fork to incorporate it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Gradually add the chilled water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough comes together.

Step 5

Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 20 minutes.

Step 6

Meanwhile, soak the raw cashews in hot water for 15 minutes, then drain.

Step 7

In a blender, combine the soaked cashews, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, and olive oil. Blend until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Step 8

Slice the heirloom tomatoes into 1/4 inch thick slices and set aside on a paper towel to drain excess moisture.

Step 9

Once the dough is chilled, roll it out on a floured surface to a rough 12-inch circle.

Step 10

Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 11

Spread the cashew cream evenly over the dough, leaving a 2-inch border.

Step 12

Arrange the tomato slices over the cashew cream.

Step 13

Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating as needed to create a border.

Step 14

Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the tomatoes.

Step 15

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.

Step 16

Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.

Step 17

Slice and enjoy your Vegan Rustic Tomato Tart!
