I am usually not that big of a fan of quiches and tarts, but when I brought two beautiful and thick stalks leek home from grocery shopping, I wanted to make something else but soup. Something “to grab”.
I love leek in a soup or just gratinated on flatbread. But today I wanted creamy leek. So I dusted my tart pan and made this delicious tart.
Because this tart is quite fat, it is very filling and serves, depending on appetite, 2 or even 4 if you serve it with a salad.
Enjoy!
Love,
Rina

Gang/Type: Main Dish
Ergibt/Yield: 2 - 4 Servings
Zutaten/Ingredients
- 1/2 Pk. vegan puff pastry
- 2 medium-sized potatoes
- 1 big stalk leek
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 350 ml (1 1/2 cups) water
- 80 g (2.9 oz) cashews
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast flakes
- 1 tsp salt
- pepper
Zubereitung/Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 190° C (380° F). Cut the puff pastry to fit in your pan and place it in the pan. Prick the bottom with a fork several times.
- Finely slice the leek, peel the potatoes and finely slice (with a mandoline). Heat the oil in a pan and sauté potatoes and leek in it for about 5 minutes.
- Blend water, cashews, nutritional yeast, salt and pepper in a high-speed blender for about 1 minute until creamy. Pour over the veggies and bring to boil.
- When the cream has thickened, pour the veggie mix in the tart pan, level and bake for about 30 minutes until golden-brown.
- Remove from the pan, cut into pieces and serve with a salad and a glass of white wine.
Tipps/Notes
If you don't have a high-speed blender, let the cashews soak in water or use cashew butter. A tart pan with removable bottom makes it super-easy to remove.
Do you soak the cashews first? Or blend just as they are- I don’t see on the recipe that you soaked them first? Thanks! I want to make this!

Hey Rhona,
it really depends on your blender. You won’t have to soak them if you have a high-speed blender. I’d recommend you soak them with a regular blender to avoid tiny bits in your tarte.
Hi Tina! I made this and my family really liked it! It was delicious!! Doubled the recipe and made a large tart! Yummy!

Sounds great! Thank you for your feedback!
This was fantastic! I had freshly harvested leeks and potatoes from my garden and was looking to make something other than the standard leek and potato soup. This will be a regular dinner for us from now on. The taste and texture are perfect! I think even those who eat dairy would love it as well.
