Tofu Ricotta
- 1/2 cup almond meal
- 1 tbsp hemp seeds
- 1 lemon zested and squeezed
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tsp dried basil
- 1.5 tsp salt
- 450 g extra firm tofu
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
- Pinch of ground black pepper

- chilli oil
Instructions
Tofu Ricotta
- Zest half the lemon, set zest aside (this will be added later). Squeeze the lemon.
- Crumble tofu with your hands. Combine all other ingredients (except tofu and lemon zest) in a food processor or blender and blitz until smooth. Add the tofu and continue to blend until the consistency resembles ricotta.
Galette
- Preheat oven to 220C/425F and line a large baking sheet with baking paper.
- Squeeze thawed spinach to remove as much excess water as possible. Pat dry with paper towel to get the last of the excess water out. Add a lug of olive oil to fry pan and add diced onion, stir for 2-3 minutes until translucent, then add garlic and lemon zest and stir for a further 1-2 minuted. Add spinach and stir for a couple of minutes until evenly combined, then remove from heat.
- Transfer onion and spinach to large mixing bowl, add ricotta and mix well until combined.
- Place pastry sheets onto the lined baking sheet, join at the centre by overlapping the sheets and pressing down with the back of a fork. Pour the ricotta and spinach mixture onto the centre and spread out so it is evenly distributed. Fold the edges of the pastry over so you have a few centimetres as an edge. Bake for 25 minutes until pastry is golden brown.
- Serve with lemon wedges, crumbled feta and chilli oil (optional). To make the meal even more filling, pair with a dense grain salad or for a lighter option, a leafy green salad with balsamic glaze.
