Ingredients (serves 4):
- 1 package of puff pastry
- 1 block of firm tofu, drained and crumbled
- 1 cup of mixed mushrooms (shiitake, oyster, and cremini), chopped
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking tips:
- Make sure to drain the tofu well before using it in the recipe. This will help it to absorb more flavor and give it a firmer texture.
- Use a mixture of different mushrooms to add depth of flavor to the dish.
- Be careful not to overfill the pastry shells, as this can cause them to burst open during cooking.
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they are tender and any liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes.
4. Add the crumbled tofu to the skillet and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Roll out the puff pastry and cut it into 4 equal squares.
6. Spoon the mushroom and tofu mixture onto each square of pastry, leaving a small border around the edges.
7. Fold the pastry over the filling to create a parcel, pressing the edges together to seal.
8. Place the parcels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.
9. Serve the Earthy Fungi and Tofu Parcels hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
