Leek and tofu tart (vegan) step by step

Preheat the oven to 200C.
Roll out the pastry into a large circle and place this in an oiled flan tin. Set this aside while you prepare the filling..
Use a food processor to finely chop the leeks (thin-slicing disc) and the onion (blade chopper). Sauté these with the garlic in a covered pan with about a cupful of water, for about 10 minutes..
Meanwhile, add all the ingredients for the tofu cream to a liquidiser and blend until smooth. Pour the cream into the leek mixture and stir well..
Now prick the base of the pastry in your flan tin several times with a fork. Pour in the leek mixture, taking care not to overfill. If you like, sprinkle a little smoked paprika on the top..
Bake for 35 minutes, checking the mixture has set, before taking it out of the oven. Leave to cool for at least 20 minutes before serving..

In the meantime drain the tofu and cut it into shapes of your choice. Heat some oil in a medium sized non-stick frying pan and fry the tofu on each. Actually, I only kneaded the base and the rest was his hard work!!! Before September my leek quiche recipe used to be a different one. One that my sister gave me and that is always been a success in our home.
