Great for savory tarts or quiches, very tasty and healthy as this crust is gluten-free and with no fat. Here is how to make an incredible quinoa crust with only two ingredients, quinoa and egg (may be replaced for vegan version) and super easy to do.
Start by cooking quinoa in water according to the instructions indicated (generally 12 min). Drain immediately.
Preheat your oven to 170 °C.
Once the quinoa is well drained, pour it into a bowl.
Beat an egg and combine with quinoa. The idea is to moisten the preparation so that quinoa seeds won’t fall appart.
Greace and flour a (ideally metal) tart mold or set in parchment paper. Fill the bottom and the edges with an homogeneous layer of quinoa preparation. Press well with your fingers or the back of a table spoon.
Cover with greaseproof paper and fill in with baking weights and bake in the oven for about 20 minutes. A few minutes before the end, remove the weights and paper, cook again for a few minutes.
Garnish and serve or bake again until filling is cooked.
