- 1 tbsp crushed garlic
- 1 tbsp lemon juice

- 1 tsp American mustard
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp ground turmeric
- ¼ tsp black salt
- Cracked pepper to taste
- 200g vegan ham, diced*
- 2 cups sweet corn kernels
- 1 red capsicum, finely diced
- 1 bunch chives, finely chopped
- 1 cup vegan cheese shreds

Directions
Step 1
Firstly to make your pastry, add all ingredients to a food processor and process until a dough forms. Turn out onto bench and knead lightly to form a round disk. Wrap dough in cling wrap and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes.
Step 2
While your dough is resting in the fridge prepare the filling. In a food processor add all ingredients except for ham, corn, cheese, capsicum and chives. Process until the mixture is smooth, the consistency of hummus. Pour into a medium bowl and add the remaining ingredients of ham, cheese, capsicum, corn and chives. Mix together well and refrigerate until required.
Step 3
Preheat your oven to 180°C. Grease and dust a medium round spring form tin or quiche pan with flour.
Step 4
On a floured surface lightly knead and roll out your pastry, to about 1cm thick. Line your tin with the pastry and, using a fork, prick the pastry base. Blind bake for 15minutes, or until starting to colour.
Step 5
Pour the filling into the pastry shell and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until firm to touch and lightly golden on top.
Step 6
Once quiche is finished in the oven you can either serve warm or allow to cool and then refrigerate for a few hours prior to eating.
