15ouncesof extra firm tofu pressed or water squeezed out
2 ½ tablespoonsof nutritional yeast
1teaspoonof onion powder
1teaspoonof basil
1teaspoonof oregano
1teaspoonof mustard
¼ teaspoonof salt
Pepper to taste
2tablespoonsof lemon juice
1tablespoonof non dairy milk
Instructions
Thaw puff pastry on the countertop for 30 minutes according to the package.
In a large pot, heat the mushrooms (no oil needed) and once they release a lot of their liquid, add garlic and spinach and place a lid on top. Watch it closely. Once it starts to wilt, add a pinch of salt and mix it in, remove it from the heat, and remove the lid.
Combine all other ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
Roll out the puff pastry a bit to get it thinner then cut into the shapes you want to fill. Fill with stuffing and pinch the edges closed with a fork.
Cook according to the package (about 20 minutes)
Notes
Drain the filling: If you don’t want soggy spinach, mushroom, and tofu pies, it’s important to drain the veggie mixture before adding it to the pies.
The yield will vary: Based on whether you cut the tofu into cubes or mash/blend it into a ‘ricotta’ consistency.
If you have extra filling: There are plenty of ways to use it. For example, turn it into a breakfast tofu scramble, enjoy it in wraps, add the veggies to a vegan omelette or frittata, etc.
