Leek quiche with potato crust and chickpea filling

Quiche with leeks and sundried tomatoes, that's completely glutenfree, fatfree and vegan. The crust is made from chickpea flour to replace a regular dough made from wheat. And chickpea flour is also used to bind the leeks, so you don't have to use eggs. Maple syrup makes everything soft and creamy, so you don't have to use any oil, butter or heavy cream either
