1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) fan on.
2

In a pan over medium heat, add the olive oil (1 tsp) and onion (1 red). Cook for minutes (5), stirring occasionally. Add the zucchini (1) and bell pepper (1 red), and cook for another minutes (10) until softened.
3

In a large mixing bowl, add the silken tofu (7.5 oz) and mash it with a fork. Add the chickpea flour (1 cup), garlic powder (1 tsp), ground turmeric (0.25 tsp), nutritional yeast (0.33 cup), wholegrain mustard (1 tbsp), sun-dried tomato (1 oz), leaves (10 basil), olives (9 black), and a pinch of [sea salt flakes] and [freshly ground pepper]. Mix well to combine. Pour in water (0.75 cup) and stir until smooth.
4

Lightly spray or brush a tart dish with [olive oil]. Carefully transfer your pastry (1 shortcrust) to the tart dish (I used a 9.5-inch / 24 cm dish) and gently press it into the base and sides. If your dish has sharp edges, flatten the overhanging dough with your fingers to remove the excess, or trim it with a knife. Gently prick the base of the dough with a fork about 8 times.
5

Transfer the cooked vegetables and chickpea mixture onto the prepared dough. Gently stir to combine, making sure the mixture evenly coats all the vegetables. If using, add the onion rings (3 red) and tomatoes (5 small) by gently pressing them into the surface.
6

Bake on the middle rack of the oven for minutes (35). Let it cool slightly before slicing. Enjoy!
