Shiitake Mushroom Tart

The Shiitake Mushroom Tart is a delightful fusion of earthy flavors and a crisp base, perfect for a Paleo-friendly meal. This Japanese-inspired dish combines the umami richness of shiitake mushrooms with a light, nut-based crust, making it both satisfying and nutritious.

Ingredients

• Almond flour - 100 grams
• Coconut oil - 40 grams, melted
• Egg - 1 large
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Shiitake mushrooms - 200 grams, sliced
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Green onions - 2 stalks, chopped
• Coconut aminos - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Fresh cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Black sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon (for garnish)

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, melted coconut oil, egg, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.
3. Press the dough into a tart pan evenly across the bottom and up the sides. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.
4. Bake the tart crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden. Remove and set aside to cool.
5. In a skillet over medium heat, add the sesame oil and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
6. Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms and stir-fry until they are tender and browned, about 5-7 minutes.
7. Stir in the coconut aminos and chopped green onions, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.
8. Remove the skillet from heat and mix in the chopped cilantro.
9. Spoon the shiitake filling into the baked tart crust, spreading it evenly.
10. Garnish with black sesame seeds and serve warm.
