This Heirloom Tomato Tart with Cashew Ricotta and Zaatar is a delightful blend of flavors and textures. Creamy cashew ricotta adds richness to the flaky puff pastry, while the sweet and tangy heirloom tomatoes provide a burst of freshness. Zaatar spice lends a fragrant and savory note, making this tart a perfect appetizer or light meal.

Ingredients: 1 sheet vegan puff pastry. 1 cup cashews, soaked overnight and drained. 1/4 cup nutritional yeast. 2 tablespoons lemon juice. 1 garlic clove. Salt and pepper to taste. 2-3 large heirloom tomatoes, thinly sliced. 1 tablespoon zaatar spice blend. Fresh basil leaves, for garnish. Olive oil, for drizzling.

Instructions: Get the oven ready by heating it up to 400F 200C. Put some flour on a surface and roll out the puff pastry until it fits a tart pan or baking sheet. Soak cashews in water and then put them in a food processor with nutritional yeast, garlic, salt, and pepper. Blend until it's smooth and creamy. If you need to, add a little water to make it spreadable. Cover the puff pastry with the cashew ricotta and spread it out evenly. Place the tomato slices on top of the ricotta, making sure they overlap a bit. Put the zaatar spice mix on top of the tomatoes. Put it in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the tomatoes start to get a little roasted. Take it out of the oven and let it cool down a bit. Before serving, sprinkle with olive oil and fresh basil leaves.
