  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4-5 tbsp ice water

Mushroom Filling:

  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup shallot finely chopped 
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/4 tsp red-pepper flakes plus more for serving
  • 1 lb portobello mushrooms
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup grated vegan parmesan
  • 2 flax eggs 2 tablespoon ground flax mixed with 4 tablespoons water. Place in the fridge for 10mins

Instructions
 

CRUST:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, mix together both flours and salt. Stir in tahini, oil, and 4 tablespoons of water. Knead in bowl until ball forms, add up to 1 tablespoon more water, if needed. Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface. You can also place the dough between two pieces of parchment paper and roll it out that way. Roll dough into a 12-inch round and fit it into a 9 1/2-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Trim the extra dough. Then, pierce the bottom of the dough all over with a fork. Bake, rotating pan halfway through, until crust is golden brown and crisp, about 35 minutes. Let cool.

FILLING:

  • Bring the oven temperature down to 350 degrees.
  • In a large mixing bowl add mushrooms and flax eggs and mix until combined.
  • Next, in a large skillet, heat oil over medium. Add shallot, garlic, and red-pepper flakes until shallot is softened. Then, add mushroom mixture and salt. Cook until mushrooms are tender. Let cool slightly.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine vegan parmesan, parsley, and mushroom mixture. Pour filling into crust. Bake tart, rotating pan halfway through for 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Let the tart cool for about 10 minutes. Top with parsley, and serve warm or at room temperature with more red-pepper flakes.
