Leek, Basil & cashew quiche
Quiches are a great way to load your kids up with veggies without them catching on! This quiche is filled with veggies, seeds, nuts and other wholesome ingredients.
How to make the base:
100g chickpea flour
80g pumpkin seeds
1/2 tsp turmeric
salt and pepper to taste
Mix all the ingredients together and slowly add water, mixing constantly. Due to the nature of the chickpea flour you will end up with a thick paste not a dough as with traditional flour. Spoon the mixture into your baking tin and smooth it out with a spoon or with wet hands.
For the filling:
5 leeks, separated and finely sliced
5 spring onions, separated and finely sliced
3 chopped garlic cloves
a handful of roughly chopped basil
50g chia seeds
100g roughly ground cashew nuts
1 tablespoon honey
4 eggs
100g freshly grated cheese (Parmesan Regiano is a great cheese. Roquefort is also delicious but I wouldn't recommend it for small children due to the bacteria it contains).
Mix all the ingredients together until evenly blended, especially the eggs
Pour over the base and cook in the oven on medium heat for 45 minutes - 1 hour until lightly brown.
Let it cool and enjoy it fresh out of the oven or cold at any time!
