I just realized that my food has been taking on the shape of pie lately. Weird. Anyway, this delicious dish is one of the lunch items I have included in my latest meal plan, which is in “beta” right now. The recipe comes from “Vegan Brunch.” It’s one that I’ve been wanting to make for a while, but was inspired to do so after reading a post on Luminous Vegans’ site. I opted to make my own pie crust, but I wouldn’t blame you one bit for buying a store-bought crust. The final result is so, so good and really does taste very similar to its egg-based counterpart. I served mine with a kale and apple salad with a lemon and olive oil dressing.
Want to know a trick for tenderizing raw kale? Give it a massage. First remove the woody stem, then tear the leaves apart with your hands. Submerge the kale in water to give it a rinse. Finally, massage the kale by giving handfuls of it a squeeze. Dark spots will appear on the leaves, which means the fibrous veins are breaking down and the leaves are becoming more tender. Cool, huh?
I think this picture alone is what convincing me to FINALLY buy Isa’s cookbook. Love this quiche so much!
You won’t regret the purchase. It’s such a great cookbook — one of my favorites!
I have to try it next week.
Aw, thanks! I appreciate you stopping by!
Funny that you posted that your food is taking the shape of pie on 3.14 or pie day!
Oh that’s too funny. I didn’t even think about that!
