Gluten Free Succotash Tart Recipe

Summer Succotash Tart with Gluten Free Lima Bean Crust

Written by Becky

I’m finding the most intriguing grains and flours to experiment with lately. I spotted this lima bean flour at Liberty Heights Fresh, a local market I frequent, and I had to create something with it. Plus I was bringing dinner to friends who just had a baby and who happen to be gluten intolerant so I had a great excuse to try making a gluten free tart. Thinking through what goes well with lima beans I decided to make a succotash tart using the lima bean flour for the crust instead of lima beans in the dish. Here’s what came of it all…

Summer Succotash Recipe

Succotash is a funny word, and is primarily the mixture of lima beans and corn, with the occasional addition of peppers and tomatoes. Think of it as a big bowl of summer. For this tart you may add in whatever veggies you pick up at the market and enjoy.  This succotash cheats a little with the addition of goat and cheddar cheese but the bright, fresh veggies can still be tasted throughout.  I couldn’t resist using two of my favorite local cheeses:  Gold Creek White Cheddar and Rockhill Farms Goat Cheese, making for a creamy savory tart. As for the crust, you can find lima bean flour at Liberty Heights Fresh, you can pick it up online at Zocalo Gourmet, or just use your favorite tart or pie dough recipe.  Really this is a simple tart that can be made with lots of alterations. Go and get creative, make a summer veggie tart, throw in some cheese and have a ball!

Total Time: 27 minutes

Yield: 1 tart

a gluten free tart dough recipe using lima bean flour

Ingredients

  • 2 cups lima bean flour
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1-3 tablespoons of water, add as needed

Instructions

  1. Mix all the ingredients together (I used my hands because the lima bean flour is quite stiff to work with). Add water slowly, as needed, to moisten the dough, until you can get the mixture into a ball. Using your hands press the dough into the tart pan (the lima bean flour crumbles easily so rolling out the dough isn't an option). Press dough to the edges and up the sides of the pan until it is evenly distributed (this may take about 5-10 minutes).
  2. Fill with ingredients above and cook at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.

  1. I put lima beans in the food processor to break them up then into my Vitamix 3600, and ground into flour. I used this with chikpea flour, self ground oat flour and mixed whole/white wheat flour and made bread is absolutely delightful
    I used used about 3/4 cup lima b. flour and 3/4 cup chikpea and 1-1/2 cup of at flour and wheat for the balance. [I am a big oat flour user.
