I\u2019ve thought about it a lot in the past few months and asked myself if I could do it. The answer is: yes, of course I could. Everybody can! The question is: do I want to? I gotta be honest: I don&#8217;t! <\/p>\n<p>I already gave up red meat, pork, venison and such more than 20 years ago. Poultry I eat occasionally. This is something I could live without. But fish and seafood I love too much to give up. Same goes for cheese and other dairy products. I tried vegan cheese before and I have to say: It&#8217;s not for me.<\/p>\n<p>But nevertheless I try to use substitutes for dairy products whenever possible: Soya milk or yogurt, almond milk, coconut oil&#8230;just to mention a few. There is a great and delicious variety to choose from. So cooking vegan is not such a challenge at all. <\/p>\n<p>To give you an example here is a recipe for a lovely and very tasty vegan quiche&#8230;no eggs, no butter, no cream. <\/p>\n<p>And here we go:<\/p>\n<p><strong>INGREDIENTS<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>Dough:<\/em><br \/>\n330 gr flour<br \/>\n150 gr margarine<br \/>\n80 ml water<br \/>\n1\/2 teaspoon salt<\/p>\n<p><em>Filling:<\/em><br \/>\n1 onion (chopped)<br \/>\n1 garlic clove (minced)<br \/>\n400 gr silken tofu<br \/>\n2 tbs olive oil<br \/>\n2 tbs cornstarch<br \/>\n1 teaspoon salt<br \/>\nPepper<br \/>\npinch of grounded nutmeg<br \/>\n1 teaspoon turmeric<br \/>\n1 teaspoon thyme (chopped)<br \/>\n1 teaspoon parsley<br \/>\n1\/2 teaspoon oregano<br \/>\n400 gr cherry tomatoes (cut in halves)<br \/>\n1 chilli (chopped)<br \/>\n1 small handful of pine nuts (toasted)<\/p>\n<p><strong>METHOD:<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>Dough:<\/em><br \/>\nMix all ingredients (flour, margarine, water, salt) until smoothly combined.<br \/>\nCover and let rest in the fridge for about 30 minutes.<\/p>\n<p><em>Filling:<\/em><br \/>\nHeat olive oil in a pan on a medium heat.<br \/>\nAdd onion and garlic and cook until translucent.<br \/>\nLet cool down.<br \/>\nPut silken tofu, oil, salt and cornstarch in a blender and mix thoroughly.<br \/>\nPut tofu mix in a large bowl.<br \/>\nAdd salt, pepper, nutmeg, chilli, turmeric and chopped herbs and mix with a spoon.<br \/>\nToast the pine nuts in a dry pan on medium heat. Don&#8217;t use oil and make sure you don&#8217;t burn the nuts. Once the pan is hot the pin nuts brown quickly.<br \/>\nLet cool down.<br \/>\nAdd pine nuts and onion garlic mix to the filling and stir with a spoon. <\/p>\n<p>Take dough out of the fridge and roll flat on a piece of baking paper.<br \/>\nPut rolled out dough in a round baking tin or ceramic casserole dish. Make sure to press the dough all the way up the sides of the baking tin.<br \/>\nBake in the oven for about 10 minutes at 200\u00b0C.<br \/>\nTake dough out of the oven and pour filling on it. Spread evenly all over the dough.<br \/>\nPlace tomatoes on top with skin side facing down.<br \/>\nBake the quiche for about 20 minutes on 200\u00b0C. Then lower heat to 170\u00b0C and continue backing for another 20 minutes.<br \/>\nLet quiche rest for about 15 minutes before you cut it in slices.<br \/>\nServe with a fresh green salad.<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t have much time you can also buy pre-made dough from the supermarket.<br \/>\nIf you are not vegan you can also use puff pastry dough.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy!<\/p>\n<p>Have a blonDISHious day,<br \/>\nSabrina xxx<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These days more and more people decide to go vegan.
