Broccoli Pie

I (heart) broccoli, pardon the health-related pun! And while I can simply eat it plain & steamed, it's nice to change things up once and a while. Even better when you get to use something sitting in the freezer (like a whole grain Spelt pie shell!) This recipe was absolutely fantastic:

After sauteing the broccoli, onions, and garlic, it was ready to be placed inside the shell.

For a dairy-less binder, what holds this pie together is a combination of silken tofu, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, tahini and a dash of soy sauce.

I didn't have wheat germ on hand, so I went with flax meal instead, which turned out to be just as good!

After baking, the result was delicious! This pie tastes even better the next day, after it's had time to sit and settle into a firmer texture with a lot of flavor. Dee-lish!
