Spring Onion Tart With Cheesy Tofu Cream

This spring onion tart is a thing of beauty. It starts with a buckwheat and amaranth crust, though if you're pressed for time, you can substitute for a pre-made crust. Next, it's topped with a deliciously creamy, cheesy tofu filling followed by a layer of sliced spring onions. You can add whatever spices you like here, but turmeric and paprika are highly recommended, as they're strong enough to bring flavor to the table, but subtle enough so that they do not overwhelm the other flavors at work.
