Steps:
- Get ramekins ready to go.
- Pour sugar into a medium sauce pot and set to medium-low heat. Let the sugar dissolve, gently swirling the pot but not stirring, until mixture turns a deep golden color, 8 to 9 minutes.
- Immediately remove pot from heat and pour caramel into ramekins. Gently lift and tilt ramekins to coat the inside with caramel. Set aside.
- Combine coconut milk and agar agar in a medium sauce pot.
- In the blender combine the oatmilk, sugar, chickpea flour, and vanilla. Process until smooth. Pour this mixture into the pot with the coconut milk.
- Bring mixture to a simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from the heat. Let cool slightly, then pour into ramekins.
- Place ramekins in the fridge for 4 hours to let the flan set.
- To serve, place bottom of ramekin in a container with hot water for 1 -2 minutes, in order to release the flan.
- Use a small knife or offset spatula to carefully loosen the edges of the flan. Turn flan over onto a plate, shake gently to release flan and remove ramekin.

MUSHROOM CHICKPEA HAZELNUT TART
Savory pies and tarts are go-to dishes at Thanksgiving. They can be made well in advance and they make a great main course for guests who are not eating turkey. We chose this recipe from Kathy Patalsky, a vegan blogger in Los Angeles, to represent the savory pie in our Vegetarian Thanksgiving series. We liked that it was easy (she suggests a pre-made crust) and the hazelnuts make it a great option for the winter holidays as well. "These flavors are rustic, filling, cozy and festive," Ms. Patalsky wrote. "I adore pot pies and tarts for main dish entrees. You can easily slice them like pies and serve to guests in an elegant way."

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Partially cook pie crust in 9-inch pie dish for 10 minutes, until lightly golden brown around edges.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, onion, sage and rosemary. Cook, stirring often, until the mushrooms have cooked down considerably and begin to brown. Transfer to a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Fold in the nutritional yeast and parsley.
- Toast the hazelnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Transfer directly into a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped. Transfer to bowl with mushroom mixture. Add the chickpeas to the food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped and add to the mushroom mixture. Add the orange juice, orange zest, vegetable broth, dates, kale and corn meal to the bowl and fold everything together until thoroughly combined.
- Transfer mixture to the prepared pie crust and smooth into an even layer. Sprinkle the red pepper over the tart and drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 25 minutes, until vegetables are slightly soft. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

CHICKPEAS WITH MUSHROOMS
I use cremini mushrooms here since they are very firm, but ordinary white mushrooms will do as well. You may add finely chopped fresh green chilies (1-2 teaspoons) toward the end of the cooking, as many Indians do, if you want the dish to be hotter. This may be served at a meal but also makes a wonderful snack as a "wrap" if rolled inside any flatbread. Thinly sliced onions, cilantro, and chopped tomatoes may be rolled inside too. Any chutney from this book or good-quality store-bought salsa could be used instead of the onion-cilantro-tomato mixture.

Steps:
- Pour the oil into a wide pan and set over medium-high heat. When hot, put in the cumin seeds and cinnamon. Let the spices sizzle for a few seconds. Then add the onions. Stir and fry until the edges of the onions brown a bit. Add the ginger and garlic and stir once or twice. Add the mushrooms. Stir until they are wilted. Add the coriander, cumin, turmeric, and cayenne. Stir a few times. Add the tomato and 1/2 cup of either the chickpea liquid from an organic can or water. Cover, turn heat to low, and cook 10 minutes.
- Add the drained chickpeas, salt, and 1 cup of the organic chickpea liquid or water or a mixture of the two. Bring to a simmer. Cover, turn heat to low, and cook gently for 15-20 minutes, stirring now and then.
