holiday tart

i can’t believe that thanksgiving is only a few days away! i know that most of you probably have your thanksgiving menus set already, but just in case you’re looking for another dish, i thought i’d share this amazingly delicious vegetarian tart with you. it has all of my favorite holiday foods – spinach, walnuts, cranberries, celery, and onions, plus chickpeas to hold the other ingredients together. we made it for a fakesgiving last night (which was a great way to celebrate with friends AND try out new recipes!), and absolutely loved it.
