Method
- Preheat oven to 200°C

- Roll pastry out on floury bench, using rolling pin or glass jar, to 4cm bigger than flan dish. Drape rolled pastry carefully over dish and push pastry into bottom of dish. Scrape overhanging pastry away with knife and remove excess. Prick base with fork. Bake for 10 mins.
- Place tofu, soymilk, dates, nutritional yeast flakes, arrowroot and turmeric in food processor or blender and blend to consistency resembling ricotta cheese, then place in large bowl.
- Heat frying pan on high heat, add spring onion and garlic and sauté until golden-brown. Add red capsicum, kale and water. Add tamari and continue to sauté for a couple of mins until softened and liquid has evaporated.
- Place cooked vegetables in bowl with tofu mix and parsley, and mix well. Add a little salt and pepper to taste.
- Place tofu vegetable mix to pastry base and smooth top with spatula. Bake for 30–45 mins or until top is golden-brown and firm to touch. Slice into 6 portions and serve with salad.
