    Description

    Celebrate the season with a Vegan Spinach, Nut & Cranberry Wreath! This tasty vegan recipe is also the perfect centrepiece for Christmas lunch or dinner.

    Method

    Step 1 of 6

    Preheat an oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced). Line a tray with baking paper.

    Step 2 of 6

    Place the spinach into a large bowl and microwave for 2 minutes. When it is cool enough squeeze any excess water out. Place into a kitchen processor.

    Step 3 of 6

    Add the tofu, nutmeg, garlic, rosemary, cranberry, zest and juice blending until well combined. Place it into a large bowl and stir through the cranberries, chickpeas and nuts. Season with salt and pepper.

    Step 4 of 6

    To build your wreath, place one sheet of pastry on a bench. Brush or spray with oil and stack another one. Repeat this 2 more times. Then repeat the process so you have two piles of pastry. Join them with a little oil spray to make one long piece.

    Step 5 of 6

    Place the filo onto the tray. Spread your filling along the middle of the filo, keeping it loose, so you can curve it into the circle. If it splits anywhere, top with a bit more filo. Spray with oil and bake for 20 minutes or until golden.

    Step 6 of 6

    Serve warm with cranberry jelly on the side.
