Equipment

  • mixing bowls
  • Rolling Pin
  • Quiche tin
  • baking paper
  • Baking beans or dried lentils
  • saucepan
  • Electric whisk
  • measuring jug
  • Whisk
  • Cooling rack

Ingredients

For the pastry

  • 200 g plain flour
  • 100 g vegan butter
  • 4 tablespoon plant milk

For the filling

  • 150 g Tenderstem broccoli
  • 8 tablespoon sun-dried tomatoes
  • 75 g gram flour
  • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • salt and pepper
  • 190 ml water
  • 3 tablespoon aquafaba

Instructions

  • Place the plain flour and cubed vegan butter into a mixing bowl. Rub the butter into the flour using your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
  • Gradually add the plant milk, one teaspoon at a time, until the mixture comes together into a smooth ball of dough.
  • Wrap the pastry in cling film (or a reusable wrap) and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • While the pastry chills, preheat your oven to 150C / 300F / gas mark 2.
  • Roll the chilled pastry into a circle large enough to line your quiche tin.
  • Carefully press the pastry into the base and sides, trimming away any excess.
  • Prick the base with a fork, line with baking paper and fill with baking beans or dried lentils.
  • Blind bake for around 20 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  • While the pastry is baking, blanch the Tenderstem broccoli in boiling water for 5–10 minutes until just tender. Drain well and allow to cool slightly.
  • In a large bowl whisk together the gram flour, nutritional yeast, onion powder and garlic powder along with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Gradually pour in the water while whisking continuously to create a smooth, lump-free batter.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the aquafaba with an electric whisk until it reaches soft peaks.
  • Gently fold the whipped aquafaba into the gram flour mixture.
  • Spread the broccoli and chopped sun-dried tomatoes evenly across the baked pastry case.
  • Pour the filling mixture evenly over the vegetables.
  • Bake at 190C / 375F / gas mark 5 for 15–20 minutes, or until the filling is fully set and lightly golden on top.
  • Allow to cool for around 10 minutes before slicing.
