Vegan mission figs roasted garlic mini tarts recipe
Ingredients:
For the Tart Crust:
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup vegan butter, chilled and cubed
- 3-4 tablespoons ice water
For the Filling:
- 1 head of garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 8-10 mission figs, stemmed and thinly sliced
Instructions:
1. Roast the Garlic – Here is my roasted garlic recipe
2. Make the Tart Crust:
- In a food processor, combine the flour and salt. Add the chilled vegan butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
- Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Prepare the Filling:
- Once the roasted garlic has cooled, separate the cloves and peel them. Cut the cloves into small pieces.
- In a small bowl, combine the roasted garlic pieces, fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
4. Assemble the Tarts:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a mini tart pan.
- Roll out the chilled tart dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness. Use a cookie cutter or a glass to cut out circles slightly larger than the tart molds.
- Press the dough circles into the greased tart molds, trimming any excess dough.
- Spoon the roasted garlic and thyme mixture into each tart shell, spreading it evenly.
5. Arrange the Fig Toppings:
- Arrange the sliced mission figs on top of the filling, pressing them gently into the mixture.
6. Bake:
- Place the tart pan on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the figs are softened.
- Remove the tarts from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Serve:
- Serve the vegan mission fig and roasted garlic mini tarts warm or at room temperature. Enjoy as a delightful appetizer or a tasty snack!
