Who Needs Feta? Spanakopita

[unecuilleree]

This is better than the non-vegan version.  I am totally amazed.  It is one of my favies and I'm so happy you posted this!  Thanks!

I was not as impressed with this as previous reviewers have been. I thought the filling was a little bland, and there was way too much phyllo dough for the amount of filling that there was. The recipe is a nice base, but next time I will make some modifications to the filling to add some more flavor, and I will use half the amount of phyllo dough. I also prefer the traditional triangles, so that it's more like finger food and then I get more filling than phyllo, which I prefer. Sorry, I'm not trying to be critical or anything, just putting my two cents in.

By no means did this remind me of feta but nonetheless, it was decent.  The filling is so unique and refreshing.  I roughly followed the outline of the recipe but next time I would try adding a little bit of lemon rind, dash of nutritional yeast, and lets not forget enough garlic to kill a vampire.

This recipe was very good. I put in less dill and lemon because I didn't want either to be too strong. I will put the full amount next time because it was a little bland. I may even try adding some garlic & dehydrated onion next time. You can never have too much onion.


Baked it in a metal pan at 350 for 45 minutes. Wish I could have taken a photo because it turned out beautiful!

This is very similar to the spanakopita I make as a Thanksgiving entree every year.  My recipe has a bit more filling (2 blocks extra firm tofu, well pressed, and a large bag of frozen spinach).  The seasonings I use are 1/2 T. salt, 2T oregano, 1t. nutmeg, 1t. basil, 1t. garlic powder.  I also use just olive oil, no margarine.  And I bake it 1 hour at 350.  This is a family favorite, even for the omnis. 

I'm going to try this dill-lemon juice version today, because I love dill!

Unless maybe you have never had phyllo; which is totally awesome....I thought this dish was blah and just plain boring! I love tofu, but this was a flavorless mess! I heard nothing but complaints from my 6 yr old and now I feel disgusting after eating it. TOO much Earth Balance and not enough seasoning, let alone salt and pepper...
Perhaps its a good base for alterations, but I would never bother.
