Ingredients to make Vegan Savory Pumpkin Pie:
- 2 cups pumpkin
- 1 onion
- 1 celery
- 2 dried tomatoes
- ½ cup chickpea flour
- 3 tablespoons of water
- 2 tablespoons of brewer’s yeast
- 3 pinches of black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons of oil
How to make Vegan Savory Pumpkin Pie:
Cut the pumpkin into pieces and cook it in boiling water until soft, about 10 minutes. Drain and mash with a fork making it puree. Cut the onion into julienne, the dried tomatoes into strips and the celery into pieces. Heat a pot or a deep frying pan with oil and fry the vegetables until they begin to soften.
Add the pumpkin, stir well and cook for a minute, stirring occasionally. Incorporate the flour to continue with the preparation of the vegan salty cake.
In a bowl, mix the chickpea flour with the water, adding it little by little and stirring to obtain a slightly thick mixture. Add the mixture to the pot along with the brewer’s yeast, salt and pepper. Mix until all the ingredients are integrated.
Cover a rectangular baking pan with parchment paper and pour the mixture inside. Bake the Vegan Pumpkin Savory Pie for 20-30 minutes until nicely browned.
Unmold the vegan savory pumpkin pie and cut into rectangular pieces. Serve it accompanied by vegetables, grains or legumes.
