Ingredients

  • 400g firm tofu, drained and pressed
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for brushing
  • 1 tablespoon white miso paste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 500g fresh spinach
  • 1 large bunch spring onions, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup fresh dill, chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 270g package phyllo pastry, thawed
  • 60ml olive oil for brushing

Instructions

1

Crumble the pressed tofu into a bowl and mix with lemon juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, miso paste, and garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside for 15 minutes to marinate.

2

Heat a large pan over medium heat and wilt the spinach in batches until fully collapsed, about 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a colander and squeeze out excess moisture thoroughly once cooled.

3

In the same pan, sauté spring onions and minced garlic in a drizzle of olive oil for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.

4

Combine the wilted spinach, sautéed onions and garlic, marinated tofu, dill, parsley, nutmeg, and oregano in a large bowl. Mix well and adjust seasoning to taste.

5

Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Brush a 23x33cm baking dish with olive oil.

6

Layer 8 sheets of phyllo in the dish, brushing each sheet lightly with olive oil before adding the next. Keep remaining phyllo covered with a damp tea towel.

7

Spread the spinach and tofu filling evenly over the phyllo base.

8

Layer the remaining 8 sheets of phyllo on top, brushing each with olive oil. Tuck edges down the sides of the dish.

9

Using a sharp knife, score the top layers into 6 portions, being careful not to cut through to the filling.

10

Bake for 35-40 minutes until the phyllo is deep golden brown and crispy.

11

Allow to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
