Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams asparagus
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 medium onion
- 350 grams firm tofu
- 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 pre-made dairy-free pie crust
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
Rinse and trim the tough ends off the asparagus. Cut into 1-inch pieces and set aside.
Finely chop the garlic and onion.
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté for 5 minutes until translucent.
Add the asparagus to the pan and cook for another 5 minutes until slightly tender. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
In a blender or food processor, combine the firm tofu, nutritional yeast, almond milk, lemon juice, fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled asparagus mixture with the tofu blend. Stir well to evenly incorporate all ingredients.
Place the premade dairy-free pie crust on a baking tray. Pour the asparagus-tofu mixture into the crust, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is slightly golden.
Allow the pie to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your dairy-free asparagus pie warm or at room temperature.
