- 1/4 cups slivered almonds
- 1 packet filo sheet 2 sheets per length
- 1 cup vegan butter Melted
Maple Glaze
- 1/4 cup dairy free milk

Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 200C or 393F
-
In a food processor, add the onion, garlic, tofu and artichoke together and blitz till crumbly.
-
In a large pan gently heat the oil on medium heat.

Add the spinach and artichoke mixture, apple cider vinegar, nutritional yeast, cumin, sea salt and silvered almonds and cook for 5 – 10 minute on high heat.
Stirring occasionally.
-
Remove from heat and let mixture cool.
-
I used a 28cm round baking pan for the borek, but you can also roll them into smaller individual servings.
-
Lightly grease the pan with the melted butter
-
To assemble, take 2 sheets of filo and lay flat on the bench.
Cover the remainder with a damp tea towel to stop it from drying out.
-
Lightly grease the filo with some melted butter.
-
Scoop the spinach and artichoke mixture and spread it across the bottom of the filo.
-
Gently lift the bottom of the filo sheet and fold it over the spinach and artichoke mixture and continue rolling the pastry till the end.
-
Then curl rolled filo around like a snail and gently place in the centre of your pan, working your way out.
-
Repeat filling and rolling of filo until pan is covered.
-
Brush some more melted butter on top and bake in oven for 15 min.
-
After 15 min, brush maple glaze over the borek and bake for another 15 min or until golden brown.
-
Remove from heat and serve immediately.
-
Raw Borek, can be cooked immediately or stored in the freezer for 3 months.
Recipe Notes
You only require 2 sheets, of filo per length. Cover the remainder with a damp tea towel to stop them from drying out.
I used a 28cm round pan and used the rolled technique for this borek.
You can just layer the filo and filling like a lasagne for a easier version.
Both is delicious!
