Spanakopita Pie

This is our twist on Greece’s famous spanakopita. We have replaced the filo pastry with a simple homemade alternative and added tofu for extra protein.... When we tested this in the studio, most people said they couldn’t taste the tofu at all. This makes a great lunch, dinner or savoury breakfast and is just as nice served hot from the oven as cold or room temperature.

Be sure to squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the frozen spinach to avoid a soggy pie.

Method

1

Gather and prepare your ingredients. Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan.

2

Place the flours and salt into a large bowl. Whisk to combine. Add the butter and rub in between your fingers and thumbs, until you have a texture resembling wet sand with some larger, pea-sized pieces remaining. Sprinkle over the iced water and gently combine. Gently form into a disc 2-3cm thick, wrap with cling film and refrigerate while you make the filling. It will look messy and resemble cellulite but will hydrate as it rests. Visible chunks of butter yield a flaky result so don't worry about fully incorporating it.
