I love an AIP tart! Sweet ones are, of course, delish, but I’m actually a bigger fan of savory. Savory tarts are so versatile, both in terms of what can go in and when they can be served. There’s almost no veggie or protein you can’t throw into the tart crust and it looks beautiful served at any meal. Even better, savory tarts are yummy hot or cold.

As the summer starts to get into gear in my neck of the woods, I thought a summer addition of the savory tart idea would be perfect for a late lunch on Day 1 and breakfast for a few more days (saving me the need to heat up my kitchen with a bunch of cooking!). Plus, it’s a great way to get in loads of veggies! Enjoy!

Serves: 8
Ingredients
  • 2 cups cassava flour
  • 1 cup cold leaf lard (snow white, odorless lard best for pastries)
  • 8-10 tbsp ice cold water
  • 1 tsp sea salt
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
  2. Place flour and lard in food processor. Pulse until crumbs form.
  3. Add water and sea salt, pulse until a ball forms.
  4. Place 9-inch tart pan on a baking sheet.
  5. Use fingers or a tart tamper to mold dough into tart pan. Prick dough all over with fork.
  6. Bake for 12-14 minutes. Remove and allow to cool completely.
Notes
Be aware that cassava flour does not have any gluten in it, which is what makes regular flour crusts better hold their shape. This tart crust tastes delicious, but may be a bit crumbly when served. Well worth avoiding the gluten!

    Excited to try this! All the artichoke hearts I can find in shops have absorbic and citric acid in them so I was going to use them from fresh artichokes. Any suggestions on how to cook them before putting them in the tart?

      Britta, I like to steam them for about 30 minutes before removing the heart.
