Ingredients:

10 oz (300 g) firm tofu

4 oz (90 g) silken tofu

1 tablespoon white miso

2-3 tablespoons red lentil/chickpea flour

3  tablespoons soy milk (or water)

Salt and pepper to taste

Method:

Processed all the listed ingredients in a food processor to create a smooth mixture. Transfer to a bowl with the baked cauliflower (from the recipe in the book) and stir gently.

Transfer the mixture the pan with dough and bake at 180 ° C (375 F) for 30 minutes or until set.

Remove and let the quiche cool down completely before releasing from the pan.

You can add chopped parsley to the lentils mixture if you want

Final three recipes of the book

Prepare the following mixture to replace the minced meat.

Ingredients:

3/4 cup black lentils

1 small onion, finely diced

200 grams (7 oz) button/cremini mushrooms, coarsely chopped

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 tsp Baharat (you can add more or less to taste)

200g (7 oz) silk tofu, mashed with a fork

4-6 tablespoons chickpea or red lentil flour

2 tablespoons all-purpose or whole wheat flour

Salt, to taste

Method:

Rinse the lentils thoroughly.

Place the lentils in a small pot and cover with 2 and a half cups of water. Bring to a boil and simmer uncovered for 25 minutes or until the lentils soften and start to crack, and almost all the water evaporates.

In a medium-sized pot, heat the olive oil. Add the chopped onion and fry over medium heat for 5 minutes while stirring until transparent. Add the chopped mushrooms and a little salt and fry over high heat 3-4 minutes while stirring until the mushrooms have shrunk and all the liquids have evaporated. Turn off the heat and set aside until the lentils are cooked.

Transfer the lentils and mushrooms to a bowl and stir well. Add the 2 types of flour, silken tofu and baharat.

Using a potato masher, mash the mixture slightly to open up some of the lentils (this will allow you to create a mixture that is easy to work with). Taste and adjust seasoning with a little salt.

If the mixture feels too wet you can add more chickpea flour, if it is too dry you can stir in a little boiling water.

You should be able to mold the mixture with your hands.
