Ingredients

• 300 grams Frozen spinach
• 400 grams Firm tofu
• 1 piece Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon Flour (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

Thaw the frozen spinach by microwaving it for a few minutes or by placing it in a colander under warm water. Squeeze out excess water and set aside.

Step 3

Chop the onion and mince the garlic.

Step 4

In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute.

Step 5

In a food processor, crumble the tofu and blend it until smooth. Add the nutritional yeast, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and ground nutmeg, and process until combined.

Step 6

Transfer the blended tofu mixture to a large bowl. Stir in the sautéed onion and garlic, thawed spinach, and chopped parsley, mixing until well combined.

Step 7

Prepare your pie crust by lightly dusting it with flour (if needed) and pressing it into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim the edges if necessary.

Step 8

Evenly spread the tofu-spinach mixture into the pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is firm and the crust is golden brown.

Step 10

Let the pie cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
