Pie with two different veggie fillings


I organized a dinner for my closest friends in Barcelona and wanted to make something new, and hopefully good as well.
I took the carrot bread recipe, doubled the amount and added some veggies and tofu on top of it to bake it I the oven.
Well, it got eaten by four fellows in less than an hour so I guess we all enjoyed it! A bit too much maybe since the recipe is for about six people.

Here’s the dough recipe:

2 dl of flours (You can use and mix any flours, but I prefer quinoa, almond and spelt)
1 teaspoon of sea salt
4 tbsp of olive oil
1 carrot (original version this was an egg)
Less than 1 dl of water

First peal, cut and boil carrots soft. Then smash them. You can also use leftover carrot from a juice you made or any other vegetable that’s soft and good to be smashed. Also grated cheese can be used instead.
Then mix them and olive oil to flours and salt and mix well. Add just a little bit of water if needed.
Spread the dough into a mold.

A fresh vegetable filling:

About 100g of soft tofu
Olive oil
About 15 cherry tomatoes
About 3 dl of fresh chopped spinach
About 1dl of green olives
Half of squeezed lemon
Pepper and salt

Smash tofu, add some olive oil if the texture is not paste enough and add a hint of salt.
Chop tomatoes and spinach and fry them in a pan in low heat with salt, pepper. Then add some lemon.
Mixed them with tofu and pour on top of the dough. Add the seedless olives on top and bake it in 200degrees about 15-20min.



Here’s another spicy veggie filling:

About 100g of soft tofu
Olive oil
One small carrot
Half of zucchini
One onion
2 garlic cloves
Some cabbage
Spices like:
Salt and pepper
Tandori masala
Garlic powder
Curry
Sesame or sunflower seeds on top

Once again, smash the tofu and add some oil and salt.
Peel and chop the veggies and squeeze the garlic if you find a garlic press. I haven’t found one ever since…well ever since I bought one for my host’s apartment. Maybe I should start to carry it in my pocket and also use it as weapon while hitch-hiking if the ride is starting to look dangerous. They’d probably believe it’s meant to squeeze the nuts. Ouch, a painful destiny to be my ride if you misbehave… Where were we? Oh, yeah, food! Njami!
So, then, fry the carrot a few minutes in middle heat, add zucchini with salt and pepper and fry a few minutes before adding the rest of the veggies with spices. Spice as much as you wish, but remember that tandori masala is strong.
Once cooked, mix the veggies with tofu and pour on top of the pie. Decorate with sesame or sunflower seeds and, again, bake in 200degrees about 15-20min.

Enjoy with your buddies!
