A creamy and herby spinach and feta filling surrounded by the flakiest puff pastry. Perfect as an appetiser for dinner parties or as a meal-prepped snack!
What iconic movie dish should I make next?
filling:
- 150g baby spinach
- 1/3 cup cashews, soaked in hot water and drained
- 200g extra-firm tofu, pressed and drained
- 1 - 2 cloves garlic
- 1 shallot
- 1/3 cup basil leaves
- 1/3 cup flat-leaf parsley
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 tbsp tahini
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- pinch of salt and pepper
- 50g vegan feta, diced
other ingredients:
- 2 - 3 sheets of frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 1 tbsp soy milk
1. Preheat oven to 180°C and line two baking trays
2. To a food processor or high-speed blender add all the filling ingredients (except the vegan feta) and process until smooth.
3. Slice the puff pastry sheets into 9 squares (3 columns and 3 rows).
4. For each square, scoop a small amount of filling into the centre and add 3-4 cubes of feta.
5. Pull one corner and the corner diagonally across from it to meet each other and pinch to seal. Repeat with the other two sides.
6. Place the spinach puffs on the baking tray and brush with soy milk. Sprinkle over sesame seeds and bake in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown.
7. Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Optionally serve with tomato sauce (I opt for a healthier, refined sugar-free one such as @mingleseasoning )
