Ingredients

• 300 g All-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp Ground flaxseeds
• 3 tbsp Water
• 1 tsp Salt
• 100 ml Water
• 1 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 300 g Fresh spinach, chopped
• 200 g Firm tofu, crumbled
• 3 tbsp Nutritional yeast
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce
• 0.25 tsp Nutmeg
• 0.5 tsp Pepper
• 3 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseeds and 3 tablespoons of water. Stir and let it sit for 10 minutes to form a flax egg.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the flax egg and 100 ml of water.

Step 3

Mix the dough until it comes together, then knead it on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 5-7 minutes. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute.

Step 6

Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

Stir in the crumbled tofu, nutritional yeast, soy sauce, nutmeg, pepper, and chopped parsley. Cook for another 5 minutes, then remove from heat.

Step 8

Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a thin rectangle, about 1 mm thickness.

Step 9

Cut the dough into squares of about 10 cm x 10 cm.

Step 10

Place a tablespoon of filling in the center of each square. Fold over the dough to form a triangle or rectangle, pressing the edges to seal.

Step 11

Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Add the Maultaschen and cook for about 10-12 minutes until they float to the top.

Step 12

Drain and serve hot, with vegan butter, or a splash of soy sauce.
