Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon, Olive oil
  • ½ medium, Red onion
  • 5 tbsps Water
  • ½ cup of Walnuts
  • 1 tablespoon, Lemon juice
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1 Tbsp Miso Paste
  • 13.50 oz, Tofu extra firm
  • 1 celery stalk
  • 2 tbsps Reduced Sodium Soy Sauce
  • 1 sheet (9 oz) puff pastry
  • 1 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 4 ounce, Red wine
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp vegan Worcestershire sauce
  1. Preheat your oven to 360 degrees.
  2. In a blender or food processor, add your wine, the water, walnuts, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, ½ teaspoon of salt, miso paste, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce and black pepper. Set aside.
  3. Mince your onion and finely dice your celery, set aside.
  4. Break up your tofu with a fork so it resembles pieces of ground beef.
  5. In a large pot, heat up the 2 tbsps of oil. Add the tofu and fry on high heat until its mostly golden brown and crisped up about 13 mins.
  6. Add the onion and the celery and cook for another 5 mins. 
  7. Add your blender contents to the pot and cook on high heat until the liquid has reduced. 
  8. Roll out your puff pastry sheets one at a time and use a rolling pin to stretch them out further, so you have enough dough to cut 6 large rectangles out for each sheet.
  9. Fill half of each rectangle with the tofu filling, leaving a small space at the edges clean.
  10. Fold the dough over the filling and use a fork to press down around the edges, going all the way around the pastry dough so it is pressed together firmly. 
  11. Bake on a lined sheet pan for 25 minutes.
