22 Sep Tofu and Leek Pie
Creamy leeks and tofu form the basis of this tempting dish, encased in a crispy, golden pie crust.
The tofu adds protein while the capsicum, leeks and onion provide a flavour and polyphenol hit. Since leeks are related to garlic and onions, they contain many of the same beneficial compounds, as well as an important concentration of the B vitamin folate.
Serve this dish warm, straight from the oven, and discover eating meat-free has never tasted so good!
