Description
Like many other dishes, this quiche was born out of necessity – I had a big bunch of leek my mom had brought me in the fridge. So, I had to create a recipe that used a lot of leek. I chose quiche as I hadn’t prepared one for a long time and my family loves a pie. Needless to say, we were just munching away and humming ?
Ingredients
Scale
FILLING
- 400g (12dl, 5 cups) leek, chopped
- 3 tbsps. garlic flakes
- 3 carrots (300g), shredded with Julienne peeler or cut into shreds
- 3 potatoes (425g), cut into shreds
- 2 tsps. broth powder
- 2 tbsps. dried celery stalks
- black pepper
SAUCE
- 5 tbsps. (80g, 150ml, 0.63 cups) chickpea flour
- 350ml (1.5 cups) water
- 7 tbsps. nutritional yeast
- ½ tsp. smoked paprika
- Himalayan salt to taste
Instructions
FILLING
Throw all ingredients onto a pan (ideally one you can use in the oven as well) with a bit of water (100ml, 0.4 cups – add half first and if necessary to prevent sticking, add the other half). The mixture needs to be nicely moist, but not dripping wet. Heat it for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
SAUCE
- Mix all ingredients well in a small bowl. Add water gradually to prevent clumps.
- If you didn’t use a pan that you can also use in the oven, line a cake tin with parchment paper and pour the filling into the tin. Stir the sauce once more and pour it over the filling.
- Top the pie with tomato slices.
- Bake in 375 F (190 C) oven for 40-45 minutes until the pie is set.
- Let cool for 15-20 minutes before slicing.
- Cook Time: 40 minutes
- Method: Baking
