𝗧𝗼𝗳𝘂 𝗥𝗶𝗰𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗮

8oz Extra Firm or Sprouted Tofu

2 tsp of Tahini

2 tsp of Miso Paste

1 Garlic clove minced

1 1/2 Tbsp of Nutrtional Yeast

1 1/2 Tbsp of Lemon Juice or Apple Cider Vinegar

Salt & Pepper to taste

𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀:

Make the Tofu Ricotta by mashing the drained Tofu and mixing it with the Miso Paste, Tahini, Nutrtional Yeast, Garlic, Lemon Juice, Salt & Pepper. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes even better overnight.

Sauté the Onion slices whole in the grapeseed oil just until lightly browned and/or translucent.

Let the Puff Pastry sheet thaw before rolling it out on a well floured surface. You are just trying to elongate the pastry into a rectangle and thin it out a bit (about 1/8 of an inch all around) Using a fork, prick the entire dough to help prevent it from rising too much in the oven.

Add the fresh chopped Basil and Parmesan to the Ricotta and mix well. Spread a thin layer of Ricotta onto the rolled out Pastry dough. Leaving about an inch or more of pastry around the Ricotta (This will form the crust).

Season the Tomato and Onion slices with Pepper and lay them on top of the Ricotta in an alternating pattern. Fold the uncovered edge of the pastry over onto itself to form the crust. Brush the crust with the melted butter and season (just the crust) with salt.

Bake at 425 for 15-18 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.

Let cool a bit before seasoning with Salt!!
