Savory Spinach and Artichoke Rolls
Ingredients
- 16 oz. pizza dough
- 1 block extra firm tofu
- 5 cloves garlic, divided
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- 2 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
- 2 c. baby spinach
- 1 1/2 c. artichokes in oil or water(whichever you prefer), chopped
- 2 tsp. oil
- salt and pepper to taste
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Make the tofu cream cheese first
Squeeze the tofu over the sink to get as much liquid out as you can
It doesn't matter if it starts to fall apart
Now place in a food processor with 2 cloves of garlic, the olive oil and apple cider vinegar
Add a few pinches of salt and pepper
Process on high scraping down the sides as needed until the tofu is completely smooth and silky, this may take a few minutes
Taste and adjust seasonings
Scoop into a mixing bowl and set aside
Now, into a small saute pan, heat 2 tsp of oil on medium high, chop the remaining 3 cloves of garlic and add that to the pan, cook for about 30 seconds, then add the baby spinach
Season with a little salt and pepper
Reduce heat to low and cook for just about a minute until the spinach has wilted
Remove from heat
Now add the cooked spinach and chopped artichokes to the tofu cream cheese mixture
Stir to fully combine
Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper
Now, on a floured surface, roll out your pizza dough into a large rectangle about 1/4 inch or less thick
Spread the dough thoroughly with the tofu/spinach/artichoke mixture
You may have some left over, no biggie
Now roll length wise, so the roll is long
Cut into rolls about 1-2 inches long
Place each roll in a prepared baking dish, either in a circle or a square depending on the dish you are using
Repeat until all the rolls are placed right up against each other
Spray the tops with oil
Bake at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until nice and brown
Serve immediately!
