Ingredients
  • ¼ cup raw cashews
  • ½ cup boiling water
  • 1 (16-ounce) package medium or firm tofu
  • 3 small Yukon potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 2 teaspoons salt, divided
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 red pepper, diced
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • ½ teaspoon black salt (kala namak)
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric
  • ½ teaspoon thyme
  • ½ cup grape tomatoes, quartered + 8 tomatoes halved
  • 1 cup chopped spinach
  • ½ cup dairy-free feta cheese
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 F.
  2. Add the boiling water to the cashews and let them sit for 15 minutes. Add the cashews and water to a blender and blend until smooth.
  3. Remove the tofu from the package and set it in a shallow bowl. Place a plate on top of the bowl and stack something heavy on top. Let the tofu drain for 20 minutes then discard the excess water.
  4. Peel the potatoes and shred using the grating blade on a food processor or using a box grater. Using paper towels or a clean tea towel, squeeze the potatoes to soak up extra moisture. Put them into a large bowl and add 1 tablespoon of oil and 1 teaspoon of salt. Press into a glass pie plate that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Place into the oven for 20 minutes, then cover lightly with foil and cook 5 more minutes.
  5. Add the remaining oil to a large frying pan. Bring the heat to medium and add the garlic, red pepper, mushrooms, and quartered grape tomatoes. Cook for 10 minutes.
  6. Add the tofu to a food processor with the cashew mixture, nutritional yeast, soy sauce, black salt, onion powder, turmeric, and thyme. Transfer to a bowl and add the chopped spinach and feta cheese.
  7. Pour the batter into the crust and press the halved tomatoes cut-side up into the top of the batter. Bake for 25 minutes, then cover with foil and cook for 10 more minutes. Let it sit for 45 minutes before slicing.
