How to make it

  • Crust

  • In a large bowl, whisk together flours, starches, guar gum and salt.
  • Cut in shortening until a coarse-meal texture forms, then add extract and vinegar and stir in.
  • Add water a little at a time, stirring just to form a ball of dough.
  • Divide dough into two parts - one 2/3 of the dough, the other the remaining 1/3. Wrap the smaller portion in plastic and chill.
  • Roll out the remaining dough between sheets of greased wax paper and fit into a lightly greased 10" pie plate. Place into the fridge while preparing the filling.
  • Filling

  • In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil.
  • Add quinoa, dates and raisins, reduce heat and cover.
  • Cook on medium-low heat for 10 minutes, then add poppyseeds, re-cover and cook another 10 minutes.
  • Pour into a food processor or blender, add sesame seeds, brown sugar, agave nectar and soymilk. Puree until dates are completely smooth and mixture is thick.
  • In a small dish, combine tapioca starch, water and vanilla, whisking smooth.
  • Pour into the blender mixture and pulse to blend in.
  • Pour into the chilled pie crust, smoothing the top.
  • Assembly

  • Preheat oven to 350F and place a rack in the bottom third of the oven.
  • Roll out remaining pastry dough into a rough rectangle and cut thin strips.
  • Arrange strips of dough in parallell lines across the filling, pressing to the edges to seal on.
  • Bake 1 hour 15 minutes on the bottom shelf. Chill completely before cutting.
