Yield 6 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

TOFU:
1 pound extra firm tofu
zest of 1 lemon
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
3 garlic cloves, mashed
pinch of red pepper flakes
sea salt
VEGETABLES:
1 1/2 pounds collard green, kale or other leafy green
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 cup onion, thinly sliced
12 ounces crimini mushrooms, thinly sliced
1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes, thinly sliced
8 tablespoons butter
8 ounce package phyllo, thawed
paprika for dusting

Steps:

TOFU: 1. Mash the tofu in a bowl. 2. Add rest of ingredients, stir until combined and set aside. VEGETABLES: 1. Steam greens for 3-4 minutes, until they turn a bright green. Drain, and set aside to cool. 2. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions, cook until browned, 3-4 minutes. 3. Add mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Increase heat and cook, stirring until mushrooms caramelize, about 5 minutes. 4. Stir in greens and tomatoes. Remove from heat. TO ASSEMBLE PIE: 1. Brush a 10 inch spring form pan or pie dish with butter. Place 5 sheets of phyllo down, brushing with butter between each layer. The extra pieces that hang over can be trimmed off at the end, or folded over. 2. Spread the vegetable layer, and cover with 2 more phyllo sheets, buttered in between. 3. Spread the tofu layer and top with 8-10 more phyllo layers, again, brushing with butter between each layer. 4. Brush top with butter. Lightly score top into 6 slices, taking care to only cut phyllo layer. Sprinkle with paprika. 5. Bake until browned, about 35 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
