The Dishes

Fennel and Tofu Vegan Quiche

Prep time: | Cook time: | Serves 4

  • For the pastry
  • 5 cup flour
  • 60 ml water
  • 60 ml oil
  • 1 tbs salt
  • For the filling
  • 1 small Fennel
  • 400 gr marinated Artichoke hearts in a jar
  • 500 gr Firm tofu
  • 2 tbs Nutritional yeast
  • 100 gr Salted peanuts (optional)
  • A small handful of fresh or dried Tarragon
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  1. The dough: Mix the flour and salt together. Mix the water and oil with a fork. Put the flour mixture and the liquids together and mix thoroughly. Knead with your hands until it becomes a firm dough and make a ball out of it. Let it rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  2. The filling: Mash the tofu until a bit creamy (you can add a bit of water to make it moist). Chop the fennel bulb and stalk into small pieces and give it a quick fry on the pan with a bit of oil until they are soft enough to eat. Mix in cooked fennel and chopped marinated artichoke hearts into the tofu mixture. Add the nutritional yeast and the roughly chopped tarragon (preferably fresh one), salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Roll out the dough and put it in the quiche dish. Make small holes in the dough with a fork. Fill with the filling and bake in the oven (180° for about 35 minutes). After baking, garnish with some fennel and toasted peanuts. You can add some sriracha sauce to taste.
