½ red pepper;

¾ tsp Black Salt

Instructions

pastry

Always start with the pastry, get it made up and stored in the fridge for about 30 minutes (note the longer you leave it in the better the pastry) to ensure it is cool. Please follow the link at the bottom of this recipe for the perfect pastry.

Filling

Ensure your tofu is well drained. Use a heavy pot and tea towel to squeeze off excess moisture. Also, get your oven on to about 200C.
While this is happening. Do your veg prep, roughly chop onions, peppers and garlic.
Spray an oven tray with some oil and add an even layer of your grated potato on the oven tray and lightly bake for about 10 minutes. Remove the potato just before it begins to crisp and leave to one side. (This can be done at the same time you are blind baking your pastry base) See notes.
Here’s a couple of things to keep you busy while the tatos are in the oven. Heat a pan and toss in your veg. Sauté lightly and add a sprinkling of salt to the pan, to sweeten up the onions.
While the veg is lightly sauteeing over a medium heat, prep your tofu filling.
In a blender add the tofu, salt, pepper and the rest of the season, nooch, milk and yogurt. Blitz it up until you have a creamy paste. It is possible to use an immersion blender for this also.

Blind Bake

Roll out your pastry, and carefully fill a pie dish. Add some grease proof paper and dried rice into the paper, then pop it in the oven to blind bake for ten minutes. Remove from the oven and get on to the next step.

Fill it up

Remove the greaseproof paper and rice from the pie crust. Set it to one side for the moment.
Add the sauteed veg to the tofu blend and stir it all together. Add the partially cooked potatoes to the top of the quiche.
Put in your preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes. If cooked well it comes out quite set.
Honestly this quiche is even more delicious cold than hot, but what ever you love yourself, all you need do now is Enjoy!

Notes

Note, blind bake your base a head of time if you only have one shelf in your oven. Then partial bake the potatoes before adding on to the quiche. It makes for a crispier top.
