Holiday Leftover Tart [Vegan]

Vegan Leftover Tart Ingredients:

3/4 cup cashews
1/2 cup warm water
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
2 teaspoons white vinegar
2 small onions
1 cup kale, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
One cup of mashed sweet potatoes or white potatoes, portioned out.
1 cup cooked Brussels sprouts, green beans, or broccoli (roasting enhances the natural sweetness of these vegetables)

One half cup of spreadable vegan cheese to suit your taste.
Cranberry sauce, for topping (optional)
Vegan gravy, for topping (optional)

Transforming Holiday Leftovers into a Vegan Tart?

Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a blender, combine the cashews, water, ground red pepper, and vinegar. Whisk the mixture vigorously on high speed to achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.
Sear the onion and finely chopped kale in a moderate-sized skillet over medium heat, using a generous amount of high-quality olive oil. Cook until the onion is translucent and the kale leaves have softened.
Position the two puff pastries side by side on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Split the cashew cream into two equal parts, and apply a delicate coating along the center of the puff pastry sheet.
Subsequently, place the cooked potatoes within each flaky pastry. Drizzle a delicate coating of the cashew cream across the surface, maintaining a consistent thickness and allowing for a small border around the perimeter, reminiscent of a perfectly topped pizza crust.
Place your favorite green vegetables atop this dish.
Top it off with generous dollops of creamy spreadable cheese, a drizzle of tangy cranberry sauce, and a rich, savory gravy.
Carefully fold the pastry’s edges towards the center, allowing them to converge but leaving a subtle glimpse of the filling’s interior exposed. Carefully turn the edges of the pastry inward to create a flaky, golden-brown crust.
Bake the pastry in a preheated oven at the temperature specified on the packaging, following the recommended baking time for optimal flakiness.
