- 1 pre-made dairy-free pie crust
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
Step 2
Rinse and trim the tough ends off the asparagus. Cut into 1-inch pieces and set aside.
Step 3
Finely chop the garlic and onion.
Step 4
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté for 5 minutes until translucent.
Step 5
Add the asparagus to the pan and cook for another 5 minutes until slightly tender. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled asparagus mixture with the tofu blend. Stir well to evenly incorporate all ingredients.
Step 8
Place the premade dairy-free pie crust on a baking tray. Pour the asparagus-tofu mixture into the crust, spreading it evenly.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is slightly golden.
