Directions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Cut in the margarine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Slowly add water a tablespoon at a time, until the dough forms into a ball.
Press the dough into a pie dish, and bake for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
Sauté the onion, garlic, bell pepper, and broccoli until soft, for about 5-7 minutes.
Add the spinach and cook until wilted.
In the meantime, blend the tofu, turmeric, salt, and pepper in a blender until smooth.
Combine the sauteed vegetables and the tofu mixture.
Pour the filling into the pre-baked crust and bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden.
Optional: Sprinkle with nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor. Let the quiche cool for a few minutes before serving.
