Description

Baked almond feta is probably one of the greatest recipes ever invented! Essentially, ground almonds, lemon juice, garlic, salt and water are blended together and then baked. It has the same saltiness and intense flavour that coats the mouth.

This roasted red pepper and asparagus almond tart uses the same recipe, but with the addition of chopped fresh dill. Line a dish with pastry and place roasted red peppers on the base. It is then filled with the almond feta and topped with fresh asparagus spears.

It's a beautiful dish and is sure to delight everyone, often confusing people with it's strong, cheese-like flavour. Enjoy during the summer months when asparagus is in season.

Vegan Beer Pairing

For this dish the dominating flavours are from the almond feta. Strong, tangy and salty, they require a beer to match them in terms of flavour intensity. Typically feta cheese would be paired with Wheat Beers such as Weihenstephan's Hefe Weizen. However, this beer pairing is all about contrasting flavours. 

Samuel Smiths Organic Apricot Fruit Beer is full of pure apricot all the way through from the initial aroma to the finish. The sticky, fruity sweetness offers the perfect balance to the intense tanginess of the tart. The two contrasting flavours come together and form an unforgettable magical synergy.
