- 1 sheet of Puffed Pastry
- ½ cup grated Vegan Parmesan
- 2 tbsp basil, chopped
- 1 large heirloom tomato, sliced
- 3 small tomatoes, sliced
- 2 onions, sliced thickly
- 2 red romano peppers, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, sliced
- 2 tsp of grapeseed oil
- 2 Tbsp vegan butter, melted
- Pepper, to taste

- 200g extra firm tofu
- 2 tsp of tahini
- 2 tsp of miso paste

Steps
- Mash the drained tofu and mix it with the miso paste, tahini, nutritional yeast, garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, ideally overnight.
- Heat oil in the frying pan and sauté the onion slices until lightly browned.
- Remove onion from pan and add the romano pepper slices, cook.
- Let the puff pastry thaw before rolling it out on a well floured surface until about 4mm thick.
- Using a fork, prick the entire dough to help prevent it from rising too much in the oven.
- Add the basil and Parmesan to the ricotta and mix well.
- Spread a thin layer of Ricotta onto the rolled out Pastry dough, leaving an inch on the edge.
- Season the tomato, pepper, garlic and onion slices with pepper and lay them on top of the ricotta.
- Fold the uncovered edge of the pastry over onto itself to form the crust.
- Brush the crust with the melted butter and season (just the crust) with salt.
- Bake at 210C for 15-18 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
