Trim the leek, halve it lengthwise, and cut into strips. Coarsely grate the pumpkin. Fry the leek, pumpkin, and sprouts in hot oil for 6-8 minutes, season with salt, pepper, and curry powder. Let cool. Mix the ingredients for the topping together, mix with the vegetables, season to taste, and spread everything over the pastry base. Bake the quiche in a preheated oven at 220°C (top/bottom heat) for about 30 minutes. Serve with leaf salad.
