Inspired by a visit to Cafe Petiole in Somerset House, London, I've made this tofu based quiche using currently in season wild garlic. Wild garlic can be found in woodlands and roadsides from March to May, and can easily be recognised by its distinctive smell. If you can't find wild garlic near you or it's out of season, use spinach
150g plain flour
50g wholemeal or rye flour
100g hard vegan butter (Naturli or Flora) - diced
2 tablespoons olive oil
150g mushrooms - sliced
150g wild garlic or spinach - chopped
Sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
300g firm tofu
3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
1 teaspoon miso
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon turmeric powder
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon self raising flour
Cherry tomatoes - halved
Mix the flours in a bowl, then rub in the diced butter with your fingertips until the flour and butter become the consistency of breadcrumbs. Add a little cold water and mix gently to form a dough. Wrap in cling film and leave to rest in the fridge for 15 minutes Heat the oven to 180ᵒC Roll out the pastry and line a 22cm flan dish. Place a piece of parchment or greaseproof paper on top, then cover with baking beans, rice or leftover pastry to weigh it down Bake for 15 minutes until the edges of the pastry start to brown. Remove the baking beans and parchment and return to the oven for 5 minutes to dry out the base Heat the olive oil in a frying pan, then fry the mushrooms until browned before adding the chopped wild garlic or spinach. Continue frying and gently stirring until the leaves have wilted and the liquid has evaporated. Season and leave to cool Place the tofu, nutritional yeast, miso, salt, turmeric, baking powder and flour into a food processor and blend until very smooth. If the mix is very firm, add a little soy milk Combine the mushrooms and tofu, then tip into the pastry crust and smooth. Top with the halved cherry tomatoes, then bake for 30-40 minutes until the middle no longer wobbles Remove from the oven and leave to rest for 5 minutes before taking out of the flan dish and serving
