This one absolutely falls under the pain in the ass category. I had never used phyllo dough before and am pretty certain I won’t ever again. These were pretty good, but not my favorite. It could have been because I didn’t use the dough correctly, so if you can figure out how to construct them properly, I bet they’re delicious!
1 box frozen whole wheat phyllo dough
12 ounces fresh baby spinach
12 ounce package of firm organic tofu
¾ cup green onions, chopped
1/3 cup nutritional yeast
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
¼ cup chopped fresh dill
1 tbsp dried oregano
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil, plus 2 tbsp and more for coating
1 ½ tbsp white wine
5 gloves garlic, minced
1 tsp sea salt
½ tsp black pepper
- In a large saucepan heat 2 tbsp of oil over medium heat for 1 minute
- Add spinach, green onions, dill, parsley, oregano and garlic and stir continuously for5 to 6 minutes until spinach is completely wilted
- Mash tofu to a creamy consistency using a potato masher (or your hands), then add spinach mix, nutritional yeast, olive oil, salt and pepper to the tofu and stir until well blended
- (Now for the pain in the ass part) I wasn’t sure exactly what to do, but I read that you coat one layer of phyllo dough with olive oil, then stack another layer on top and add another layer of oil. Then you spoon in 1-2 tbsp of the tofu mix and fold dough over continuously into a triangle (I got lazy and ultimately just rolled them up into something similar to a jellyroll)
- Top with a little more oil when folded up and bake at 375 degrees for about 20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on top
