Gluten-Free Spinach and Tofu Savory Pie

The gluten-free spinach and tofu savory pie is a flavorful, light, and wholesome dish, ideal for those following a gluten-free diet without sacrificing taste. In this version, the traditional puff pastry base is replaced with a mixture of rice flour, water, and oil, ensuring a flaky texture and neutral flavor that perfectly complements the filling of spinach and tofu. Tofu is a versatile ingredient, rich in plant-based protein, capable of absorbing the aromas of spices and herbs.

This recipe combines simplicity and health, making it perfect as a main dish for a light lunch, a Sunday brunch, or as a vegetarian option for dinner with friends or family. Moreover, this savory pie is great served warm, but it’s also delicious cold, making it a fantastic choice for a picnic or a meal on the go. The gluten-free spinach and tofu savory pie is healthy and substantial, and we are confident even traditionalists will enjoy it.
