Ingredients for 4 people

1 sheet vegan puff pastry, roll
400 g firm tofu, or silken tofu for a smoother result
200 g broccoli, in small florets
150 g fresh spinach
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, cloves, crushed
100 ml plant-based milk, almond or soy
10 tbsp nutritional yeast flakes
0,5 tsp turmeric
0,5 tsp curry powder
10 tbsp lemon juice
pinch kala namak, black salt, optional, gives an eggy flavour
1 tbsp olive oil
pinch nutmeg
to taste salt and pepper
to taste vegan grated cheese, optional, for the top

Method

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees.
Steam the broccoli for 5 min until just tender. Fry the spinach with the olive oil and garlic in a pan. Drain in a colander and squeeze out the excess liquid.
Blend the tofu with the plant-based milk, nutritional yeast, turmeric, curry powder, lemon juice, kala namak, nutmeg, salt and pepper into a smooth mixture.
Line a 24 to 26 cm tart tin with the puff pastry. Prick holes in the base with a fork.
Mix the tofu mixture with the broccoli and spinach. Pour into the tart tin.
Sprinkle vegan grated cheese over it if you like.
Bake for 30 to 35 min until the quiche is golden brown and the filling has set.
Let it rest for 5 min before cutting. Serve warm or lukewarm with a fresh salad.

Tip

Kala namak gives an egg-like flavour. Available from Asian grocers or health food shops.
