  1. This is fantastic!!!!!! I cook vegan for a living and I made this today and it was delicious. Even carnivores loved it, didn't know what was in it. I added a tablespoon of nutritional yeast (nooch) and a tablespoon of corn starch so it wouldn't run. Baked it until golden brown and it was a hit. I also made Greek potatoes with it and a Greek salad with my own homemade vegan feta "cheeze." Great recipe. Thanks for sharing.
     
  2. Great recipe. My only complaint is the silken tofu was too wet and soft. I drained it for quite some time to keep it from making the bottom of the spanakopita soggy. Next time I will use firm tofu and crumble it. My changes were: fresh oregano to the tofu, red bell pepper and 1 red onion sauteed with 1 pound of fresh spinach.
