White Bean, Brussels Sprouts, and Pomegranate Tart

By devogirl

For a spectacular appetizer or light main course, white bean purée is spread on a crisp-from-the-oven puff pastry crust and sprinkled with warm Brussels sprouts and juicy fresh pomegranate seeds.

I added some lemon juice, 2 garlic cloves, and some thyme to the white bean mixture which added some great flavor. Love this recipe!
