Recipe Description

This Vegan Spanakopita is a cruelty-free take on the classic Greek pastry. Packed with a flavorful spinach and tofu feta mixture, nestled between layers of crispy, golden phyllo dough, it promises a delightful eating experience. This recipe reinvents traditional spanakopita using plant-based ingredients without compromising taste or texture. Whether you are hosting a dinner party or looking for a comforting meal, this vegan version of the beloved spinach pie will satisfy your cravings while adhering to a vegan lifestyle. Carefully selected ingredients ensure that every bite is as authentic as its traditional counterpart, making it a must-try for vegans and non-vegans alike.

Ingredients

  • 1 pack phyllo dough (thawed)
  • 2 lbs spinach (washed and chopped)
  • 1 block tofu (pressed and crumbled)
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 onion (finely chopped)
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • Fresh dill (to taste)

Steps:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté onion and garlic until soft.
  3. Add spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat.
  4. In a bowl, combine crumbled tofu, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and dill. Add the cooked spinach mixture and mix well.
  5. Unroll phyllo dough and cover with a damp cloth to prevent drying out. Take one sheet, brush with olive oil, and place in the baking dish. Repeat with half the phyllo sheets.
  6. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
  7. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
