Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup coconut oil (solid, not melted)
- 4 tablespoons cold water
- 1 cup chickpea flour
- 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 8 ounces extra-firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 ounces white or cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 cups baby spinach
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
To make the crust, in a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt.
Add solid coconut oil and use a pastry cutter or your hands to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough comes together.
Press the dough into a 9-inch pie or tart pan evenly across the bottom and up the sides. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.
Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
In a blender or food processor, combine chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, almond milk, tofu, salt, turmeric, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil.
Add onions and sauté for 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add garlic and cook for another minute.
Add mushrooms and soy sauce. Cook until mushrooms are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in fresh thyme leaves and spinach, cooking until the spinach wilts.
Combine the mushroom-spinach mixture with the chickpea flour mixture and stir well.
Pour the combined mixture into the partially baked crust and smooth the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the top sets and is golden.
Remove from oven and allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
