Rustic Puff Pastry Tart With Savory Mince & Creamy Hummus

This rustic puff pastry tart layers crisp pastry, creamy hummus, and a savory vegetable-packed mince into one impressive main dish. The filling combines plant-based mince with grated carrot, zucchini, onion, and garlic, creating plenty of flavor and texture in every bite. Tomato paste, soy sauce, smoked paprika, and oregano help build a rich, savory topping that feels substantial without relying on meat.

Natlicious Food spreads a generous layer of hummus over the baked pastry before piling on the mince mixture. The hummus adds creaminess and helps balance the deeper flavors from the filling. Fresh coriander scattered over the top brings a burst of color and freshness that contrasts nicely with the golden pastry.
