walnut and mushroom flan--vegetarian cookbook
« on: September 20, 2011, 01:22:37 pm »
I really liked this tart, as did my husband and vego teenage son.  Youngest son opted out without trying and made himself an egg and bacon sandwich!  I used EDC shortcrust pastry and didn't have enough mushroom, so roasted some zucchini while the tart shell was blind baking and added that too.  I also added some grated parmesan on top.

Tweak for next time:  I thought thetaste of the  lemon juice was quite strong and as the fetta/walnut mix is similar to Cyndi's vegetarian sausage rolls, next time I think I will try adding tamari, as per that recipe, as it would go really well with the flavours in this tart.

This is a very elegant dish, it needed a substantial side dish for my boys to think it was "dinner". None the less, we thought it was delicious and I would definitely cook it again.

4.5/5
