INGREDIENTS
For the vegetable mixture
1 tablespoon vitalite
1 teaspoon virgin coconut oil
2 large red onions, finely sliced
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 medium courgettes (zucchini), diced
1 large red bell pepper, diced
1 tablespoon fresh tarragon
8 medium spears asparagus
For the tofu cream
200g (7 oz) firm tofu
1 heaped tablespoon nutritional yeast
150ml (5 fl oz) water
1/2 teaspoon agave nectar
1 heaped tablespoon self raising flour
2 teaspoons egg replacement powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
METHOD
1 Start preparing the vegetable mixture by frying the red onion over a medium heat with the salt until the onions have started to soften and caramelise.
2 Remove the asparagus tips from the spears and put these aside.
3 Chop the rest of the asparagus and add to the pan with courgette, red pepper and tarragon. Continue to cook for around 12-15 minutes until the vegetables have become tender.
4 Take off of the heat and put to one side.
5 Now prepare the tofu cream by placing all of the ingredients in a blender and processing until smooth and silky.
6 Add this mixture to the vegetable mixture in the pan and stir and combine well.
7 Pour the mixture into a greased 9 inch cake tin (with spring loaded sides) and place the asparagus tips on top, pressing into the mixture slightly.
8 Bake for 40 minutes in a pre-heated oven at 200 degrees Celsius ( 400 F ). Remove the sides of the cake tin and put back into the oven for a further 5 minutes. Remove and serve.
