can filo entrees be healthy? they are usually white flour and smothered in butter filled with something cheesy, maybe if you are lucky filo is smothered in olive oil. i think olive oil is a healthy fat in moderation. and don't get me started on cheese! to healthify these pouches i used whole wheat filo and olive spray to keep the fat low. the result is a delicious, healthy treat!
while i was at it, i used some spare filo and filled some pouches with blueberries and cherries and sprayed with canola oil instead of olive oil. a light summer dessert to match your entree!
recipe!
3 sheets of whole wheat filo cut into fourths
olive oil spray
sun-dried tomato filling:
6 oz firm tofu, crumbled
about 6 rehyrdrated sun-dried tomatoes , chopped.
1/4 c frozen spinach
garlic powder, salt and pepper
-preheat the oven to 350 degrees
-grease baking pan with olive oil spray
-combine the ingredients for the filling
-cut the sheets into 4 squares
-spray one square lightly with the oil spray
-carefully put a small-ish amount of filling in the middle of one square
-carefully combine the edges of the square and pinch together
-repeat for each square!
i ate my pouches with fatfree vegan's mini crustless quiches.
