Spinach Tomato Tart

Fall is in the air, the evenings are getting cooler and my dehydrator is humming again! During the summer, dinner is almost always a hearty salad made with fresh finds from the farmer’s market. But as the evenings cool off, I find myself wanting something a little more substantial and the raw food recipes start getting a little more creative!

 

 

I made this little tart with the left over tomatoes from the Hearty Heirloom Salad. I love the concentrated flavors of a marinated tomato, so into the dehydrator they went. Once these were done I knew they would make a perfect little tomato tart. The crust is made from almonds and kale (for an extra nutritional punch) and the filling uses cashews, tomatoes and spinach! With a little advanced planning to marinate the tomatoes and dehydrate the kale, these little raw, nutritious tarts come together in a pinch and the flavor is unbelievable! A perfect raw food recipe for dinner tonight, or your entertaining menu! *Day Before Notes: Marinate tomatoes, dehydrate kale, soak cashews.

 

 

You can use baking rings, or tart shells for these tarts. I love these rings: Baking Rings and this tart pan: Tart Pan

 

 

Perfectly marinated tomatoes!

    I made this for Christmas dinner and my husband and I loved it! It is so rich. My husband, who is vegetarian, said “I can’t believe you can make something that decadent with those ingredients!” My only gripe is the coconut oil. I can really taste it and don’t love the way that flavor mixes with the other flavors. Is there another oil I can use that will make the crust stand up that nicely?

    I’m preparing this recipe now. Used the 3 Tablespoons of Italian seasoning (think it was suposed to be 3 testpoons). My tomato halves have lots of italian seasoning on them – in comparison to your picture. I swished off the excess with 1-3 hours left in the dehydrator and YUMM!!!
    Didn’t have any Italian seasoning in the house – all the spice jars were empty. So I found a recipe at http://www.food.com/recipe/italian-herb-mix-173865 It was easy to mix up and works great!
    Thanks again for your great recipes. Jen

      I have a whole collection of them picked up from various cooking stores. I am sure you could find them on amazon.
