Instructions
To make the tart base
Pre–heat your oven to 180C.
Grease a round loose bottom pie pan with oil–I used a 19cm.
First, make the Walnut meal by adding the nuts to a mini chopper or blender and blitzing until you get a fine meal.
Make the flax egg by mixing the ground flax and water in a bowl–set aside to thicken.
Add all the dry ingredients to a large bowl and mix to combine. Then add in the oil, almond milk and flax egg. Mix throughly to form a dough.
Transfer the dough to the tart pan and use your fingers to press into the bottom and up the sides. Poke a few holes with a fork across the bottom.
Bake on 180c for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven.
To char the asparagus
Add the asparagus to a griddle or frying pan with a little oil and cook for a 3-4 minutes, turning frequently until lightly charred. Set aside.
To make the filling and the tart
Add all the ingredients to your food processor, then blitz until smooth.
Layer the filling mix across the bottom of the tart, then top with the asparagus. Press in a little, then add some peas.
Drizzle with a little olive oil and sprinkle of sea salt.
Return to the oven and bake for 35 minutes. Allow to cool before removing the pan.
Allow to cool and then sprinkle on fresh mint.

I am confused. Do the peas go both in the filling and tge topping? Peas are not listed in the topping section, but directions say to add peas to topping. Is it 100g of peas in the filling minus a bit for topping or no peas in the filling and all 100g for topping? Thanks!

Hi Ruth
