Method
1. To make the marinated vegetables, mix together the olive oil, vinegar, honey, garlic, tamari and mixed herbs and toss through the vegetables.
2. Spread out the vegetable mix on a dehydrator tray lined with baking paper and dehydrate at 48°C for 6 hours.
3. To prepare the crust, spread out the almonds and sunflower seeds on a dehydrator tray lined with baking paper. Dehydrate at 43°C for 24 hours.
4. Place all the crust ingredients in a food processor and blitz until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Tip into a 23cm flan tin and press firmly and evenly over the base. Chill in the fridge while you prepare the filling.
5. Place the cashews, yeast, garlic, lemon juice, water, tamari and coconut oil in a high-powered blender and blend until smooth. Stir in the spinach, basil and half the marinated vegetables. Pour into the flan tin and place in the fridge for 1–2 hours or until set.
6. Just before serving, top with the remaining marinated vegetables.
7. If you don’t have a dehydrator, simply marinate the vegetables for 20 minutes and use as they are.
