I’ve heard it said before that life is too short to make your own puff pastry and I agree. This spinach and tomato hummus tart can be whipped up in just 25 minutes; add homemade puff pastry into the mix and it’s no longer such a quick option!
Fortunately vegan puff pastry is easy to come by. It’s often “accidentally vegan” and therefore might not be labelled as vegan, but a quick scan of the ingredients should confirm either way. I used a sheet of Asda’s vegan-friendly own-brand ready rolled puff pastry.
To be honest, I took quite a few shortcuts while making the spinach and tomato hummus tart: I also used shop-bought hummus and a jar of vegan pesto. Virtually all shop-bought hummus is vegan-friendly (I say “virtually all” because you never know when a recipe can change!) and it’s fairly easy these days to pick up a jar of free from pesto that’s suitable for vegans. In Asda, you can find the delicious Le Conserve Della Nonna free from pesto.
Got a bit more time? Whip up some homemade hummus and pesto of your own.
I don’t know about you, but I love having recipes like this to hand. If I’m in a rush, I can grab the necessary tubs, jars and packets from the shops; if I’ve got more time to spend cooking, then everything can be made from scratch.
OK, so I probably still wouldn’t make the puff pastry from scratch..!
This spinach and tomato hummus tart makes a perfect summery meal on its own or with a side salad, but it’s also perfect eaten cold at picnics. Did I mention it’s ready in less than 30 minutes too?
All of the ingredients are easily available from Asda who, if you haven’t paid them a visit lately, are massively ahead of the game with their vegan range. This recipe uses their vegan mozzarella and it’s by far the best I’ve used – I mean look at how well it melts!

Notes
1. If using shop-bought pastry that is wrapped in greaseproof paper, you can simply roll it out keeping this paper underneath then transfer to the baking tray.
2. If the pesto is too thick, mix with a little extra olive oil.
