This beautiful and savory spinach tart is not only pretty and impressive looking, it's also super easy to prepare and of course, totally vegan. Perfect to enjoy in a party or while watching a movie. Don't you think so?
Ingredients:
- 2 sheets round puff pastry
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 400 g fresh spinach (you can use frozen ones)
- 200 g tofu
- Vegetable milk (soya, oat, almond)
- Salt and pepper
Instructions:
- Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Rinse the spinach and add them to the pan. Cook them until tender.
- Squeeze the spinach and chop them. Crumble the tofu and combine in a bowl with spinach, salt, pepper and garlic powder. You can do it by hand or using a food processor. Add a little bit of vegetable milk if consistency is too thick.
- Preheat the oven to 180ºC. Prepare a baking tray with parchment paper and lay on one sheet of the puff pastry.
- Spoon the filling in the centre and along the edges leaving ½ inch free from the edge. Cover with the second sheet of puff pastry. Use a fork to press the pastry on the edges in order to seal it.
- Place a cup in the centre of the pastry. Make cuts from the cup to the outside. Remove the cup and brush the tart with vegetable milk mixed with a pinch of turmeric powder for golden colour. Sprinkle the centre of the flower with poppy and sesame seeds. Carefully lift and turn each wedge 90° to expose the filling and create petals.
- Bake the tart in the oven for 30-35 minutes or until golden and blown.
Recipe notes:
- Add a pinch of turmeric powder to the milk before brushing the pie. In this way your pie will have a golden colour.
