Introduction
I de-glutened and veganized my grandma's recipe for a poppyseed and dried fruit tart, essentially a thick puree of cooked seeds, dates and raisins with quinoa (she used cooked rice and breadcrumbs) spread into a crust and topped with strips of pastry. It's a great alternative to traditional pies this Holiday.

Ingredients
-
Crust
Crust
3/4 cup white rice flour
3/4 cup brown rice flour
1/2 cup sweet rice flour
2/3 cup tapioca flour
1/3 cup potato starch (not flour)
1/4 cup arrowroot starch
1/2 tsp guar gum
1/2 tsp salt
4.4 oz shortening
1/2 tbsp orange extract
1 1/2 tbsp rice vinegar
4 1/2 tbsp cold water
Filling
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup raw, red quinoa, rinsed well
2 oz dates, chopped
2 oz sultana raisins
8 oz poppyseeds
1 oz black sesame seeds
5 oz dark brown sugar
2 tbsp agave nectar
3/4 cup plain soymilk
2 tbsp tapioca starch
3 tbsp cold water
1 tbsp vanilla
Directions
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.
