Instructions
To make tempeh ham:
- Slice tempeh in half, diagonally, then in half to create 4 thin triangles. In a wide/shallow bowl or food container whisk together water, tamari, maple syrup and liquid smoke. Marinate tempeh for 30 minutes, while preparing eggy tofu.
- After you cook the tofu, keep the pan hot at medium heat. Place the tempeh slices in the pan and pour marinade over it. Cook for 3 minutes on both sides, uncovered. Get ready to assemble pockets.
To make eggy tofu:
- Slice the tofu into half, diagonally and then cut one half into 4 thin triangles. (use the excess tofu in another recipe) In a small bowl, whisk the nutritional yeast, black Indian salt, black pepper, and salt together. Dust each side of the tofu with this mixture.
- In a large pan, warm the coconut oil over medium heat. Once hot, place tofu triangles in it and brown the two largest surfaces of them for 5 minutes, each. Adjust temp to medium-low and place tofu on a plate.
Directions For Assembly
- Preheat oven to 375F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Lightly brush each sheet of fillo with olive oil. Layer fillo sheets on top of each other and slice them in half, lengthwise. Split them into 4 rectangles, three sheets thick.
- Place a triangle of tempeh toward one end of a rectangle, leaving roughly 1-inch of fillo bordering it on 3 sides. Top tempeh with eggy tofu, 1/4 cup spinach and one tomato slice.
- Fold the 1-inch border of the long side over the filling, and then fold over the 1-inch flap on the end. Now, holding it together, fold the triangle of filled fillo over to one side, then the next, and more until it is fully wrapped.
- Brush a little oil on top of the pockets and place them on lined baking sheet. Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until golden brown. Make hollandaise sauce while pockets are baking.
- Once pockets are baked, top with sauce, a dash of smoked paprika and pinch of parsley on each one.
Directions For Hollandaise Sauce
- Place all ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth. Transfer sauce to a large saute pan and bring to a simmer, over medium-low heat, whisking frequently. Continue whisking and cook until the sauce has thickened and is not grainy from the chickpea flour. Adjust heat to low, to keep warm for serving.
