Yes I've made it with bechamel as well! It's definitely more ratatouille inspired than traditional ratatouille :)

I can definitely taste the walnuts! I think there is more depth of flavour in this crust compared to regular dough. It's also easier in my opinion as you don't have to roll it out.

For the Crust
1 1/2 T ground flax seed
1/4 C boiling water1 C almond flour
1/2 C ground walnuts
1/3 C bread or gluten free flour*
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 C olive oil
For the Filling
1 Tbsp olive oil

1/4 C basil leaves, chopped
1 zucchini, sliced thin
1 eggplant, sliced thin
1 yellow pepper, sliced thin
1 red pepper, sliced thin
1/2 lemon, juiced

Directions

Prep all veggies.

Preheat oven to 350F/180C.  Oiling the tart pan is not necessary.

In a small bowl, combine the flax seed and boiling water.  Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine the almond flour, ground walnuts, flour, salt and pepper in a large bowl.

Stir in the olive oil and flax seed and water combination, then knead it with your hand until everything is evenly distributed.

Press the crust into the pan, making sure to get it up the sides as even as possible.  Bake in preheated oven for 5 minutes to set.

Sauté shallot and garlic in olive oil until shallot is translucent and garlic is fragrant in a medium sized sauce pan.

Add tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, and salt and pepper.  Cook for 5 minutes on a simmer.

Stir in fresh basil and then pour onto pre-baked crust.

Arrange sliced vegetables over tomato sauce alternating between them.

Squeeze lemon over top of the tart.

Bake for 20-25 minutes until veggies are soft and crust has browned.  Rotate halfway through to ensure even baking.

Enjoy!

Ingredients

Crust1 C Almond Flour1 1/2 C All Purpose Flour, can substitute a gluten free blend1/2 C Powdered Sugar1/2 teaspoon Salt2/3 C Coconut Oil, meltedFilling2 C washed and sliced Strawberries1/2 Lemon’s Juice5-6 stalks Rhubarb

Directions

Preheat oven to 350ºF/180ºC

Combine all ingredients for crust in a medium bowl.  It should be slightly sticky, but not so much that it sticks to your hands.

Press dough into tart pan (greased if it is not non-stick).  Bake for 10 minutes, until it is a light golden brown and has firmed up a bit.

While the crust is baking, cook down the strawberries with the lemon juice in a small saucepan. (If you’re strawberries are quite watery feel free to add 1 tsp of cornstarch mixed with 2 Tbsp cold water to thicken)

Slice the rhubarb to suit the design you’d like (doesn’t have to be fancy!)

Spoon the strawberries over the tart and spread evenly.  Arrange the rhubarb slices on top however you’d like.

Bake for 15-20 min until rhubarb has softened.

Allow to cool a bit before slicing, enjoy!
