FILLING:
- 200 g Violife Greek White block crumbled
- 1 vegan puff pastry
- 200 g frozen spinach thawed water squeezed out
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion chopped
- 2 fresh onions chopped
- 1 leek chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh dill chopped
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- salt and fresh ground pepper
Other:
- 2 tbsp almond milk
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- Preheat oven to 180°C.
For the filling:
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan and add the onion, the leek and the fresh onions, until soft.
- Add the spinach and cook until it is no longer watery. Add the dill, parsley and lemon zest.
- Remove from heat and add Violife Greek White crumbled, a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside to cool.
To assemble:
- Using a rolling pin flatten out your pastry until 1 cm thick. Cut out two big triangles of the same size with a small rectangle at the bottom, shaped like a Christmas tree. Use a ruler to make it easier to create straight lines. From the leftover pastry cut out some stars for decoration.
- Place the spinach mixture inside one of the Christmas trees, leaving a 1 cm border.
- Press it down with a spoon so it is smooth and not bumpy. Lift the second Christmas tree pastry and place on top of the filling.
- Using a sharp knife cut the branches 2 cm apart and carefully lift each branch at a time and twist. Repeat with all branches. Add the stars to decorate.
- Using a brush, lightly brush the pastry with almond milk, sprinkling with sesame seeds.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes or until golden.
