200g of firm smoked tofu
200g of firm plain tofu
100ml of soya milk
1 teaspoon of black onion seeds
1 tablespoon of tahini
3/4 teaspoon of salt
3/4 teaspoon of pepper
2 teaspoons of curry powder
1 teaspoon of dijon mustard
1 tablespoon of nutritional yeast
6 large spears of asparagus, steamed and roughly chopped
1 tablespoon of oil

1 green chilli, finely chopped (optional)
2 large sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped
METHOD

1 Prepare the pastry and line the quiche dish. When the dish has been lined, sprinkle the black onion seeds over the pastry and push slightly into the pastry getting some of the seeds on the sides as well as the bottom. Blind bake the pastry for 15 minutes and then remove from the oven.
2 Add the tofu, soya milk, tahini, salt, pepper, curry paste, mustard and nutritional yeast to a blender and blend until a smooth mixture has formed. There should be no lumps in the mixture. Set this mixture aside.
3 Heat the oil in a frying pan and over a medium heat fry the red pepper, spring onions, garlic, chilli, sun dried tomato, mushrooms and steamed asparagus. Cook until the vegetables are softened and if the mixture becomes dry, add a little water and continue to cook.
4 Once the vegetables are softened, remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly for a few minutes. Combine with the tofu mixture and mix thoroughly.
5 Place the mixture into the pastry case, smooth down and bake for 40 minutes.
