Hummus Tarts

Posted on Saturday, April 13, 2013

I had tarts on the brain today. Sometimes I get a little craving for dough but I try as all might to make it healthy so lately I've been on an oat flour, flax meal dough kick and I must say, it's working out pretty nicely.

So while perusing the google logs for a oat flour tart I came accross shop.cook.make's Cannellini Bean and Goat Cheese Tart with Oat Flour Crust. I don't really go for cheese these days and was fresh out of Cannellini Beans so I took this recipe and ran with it.

So, without further ado I give you Hummus Tarts with rosemary oat flour, flaxmeal crust piled high with a fried egg and caramelized onions.

Recipe:

Additional ingredients

1/2 onion, thinly sliced

1 Tbsp. olive oil

3 eggs

To begin, heat 1 Tbsp. olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring frequently until the onions are browned in color. Remove from heat and set aside.

For the crust (makes three 4-inch tarts)

3 Tbsp. Flaxmeal

1 1/2 cup oat flour

** Grind up whole oats and flax seeds in clean coffee grinder to obtain flour consistency**

1 Tbsp. Rosemary, finely chopped

4 tsp. Olive oil

5 Tbsp. cold water

salt, for tasting

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix all ingredients together until it reaches dough consistency. Divide between three tart shells and press dough in to fill the shell.

Bake shells at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.

Hummus Filling

1 can garbonzo beans

3 cloves garlic

1 tsp. red pepper flakes

salt and pepper to taste

Olive oil

In a small food processer add the can of beans, garlic, red pepper, salt and pepper. Turn on and add olive oil slowly until the mixture is smooth in texture.

Divide the hummus mixture between the three shells. Bake at 350 degrees for an additional 10 minutes.

While the tarts are baking, heat a dash of olive oil in a pan and fry the three eggs however it is you like your eggs. I love them good and runny so they ooze all over the dish.

Once the tarts have finished baking, remove them from the oven, place a fried egg onto the tart and add a few of the caramelized onions on top.
