Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams firm tofu
- 50 grams chickpea flour
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 180 milliliters unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric
- 0.25 teaspoon black salt (Kala Namak)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 100 grams cherry tomatoes, halved
- 50 grams spinach
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives, for garnish
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Lightly grease a muffin tin or 4 individual ramekins with olive oil.
Block the tofu and press it between kitchen towels to remove excess moisture. Crumble the tofu into a large mixing bowl.
Add chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, almond milk, tahini, lemon juice, turmeric, black salt, baking powder, sea salt, and ground black pepper to the bowl.
Using a blender or food processor, blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as necessary.
Fold in the cherry tomatoes and spinach into the tofu mixture, distributing them evenly.
Spoon the tofu mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin or ramekins, filling them up to the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are firm and golden.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped fresh chives and serve warm.
