Chickpea, Eggplant, and Tomato TartsMatthew Hranek

These satisfying tarts may incite "vegetarian envy" in your meat-eating guests. The recipe makes 4 sizable main-course portions, but the tarts could be halved (or even quartered) to serve as a side dish. Either way, they are delicious with the roasted mushroom and barley gravy.

Cooks' notes:

•Filling, without parsley, can be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Stir in parsley before using.
•Tarts can be baked 6 hours ahead and kept, uncovered, at room temperature. Reheat in a 350°F oven 15 to 20 minutes (while turkey stands, if making).
