Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 tablespoons tahini

3 tablespoons soy sauce

2 pounds soft tofu -- mashed

1 tablespoon arrowroot

1 pound broccoli -- cut in small bite-sized pieces

1 pre-baked savory tart shell

 

This quiche is an unusual way to serve tofu and makes an interesting change. It

is full of healthy ingredients, includind the tofu, tahini, and broccoli, which

all deliver phytoestrogens. Made from sesame seeds, the tahini is also a rich

source of calcium. Health food shops should sell pre-baked savory tart shells;

otherwise use an ordinary pastry tart suitable for quiche, but make sure it is

made with whole wheat flour.

 

Preheat the oven to 300F.

 

Combine the tahini, soy sauce, and tofu in a bowl. Dissolve the arrowroot in 2

oz water and combine with the tahini mixture in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer

and continue to cook over moderate heat for 7 to 10 minutes.

 

Meanwhile, in a separate pan, steam the broccolii pieces until they are just

beginning to get tenderr. Add the broccoli to the tofu mixture and spoon into

the pie shell. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes.
