Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. In a food processor, blend extra firm tofu, nutritional yeast, cornstarch, white miso paste, garlic powder, ground black pepper, dried oregano, kala namak, turmeric powder, smoked paprika, and unsweetened plant milk until smooth.
  3. In a nonstick pan, heat olive oil and sauté onion and garlic for about 3 minutes until translucent. Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Combine the tofu mixture with the sautéed vegetables, sun-dried tomatoes, and chopped pistachios in a mixing bowl. Stir until well mixed.
  5. Roll out puff pastry and cut into 12 circles for your muffin pan. Grease the muffin tin if using metal.

  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden-brown and firm.
  8. Allow to cool in the pan for a few minutes before serving.
