Vegan Ricotta & Spinach Parcels
Inspired by the traditional Greek dish Spanakopita, these Vegan Ricotta and Spinach triangles are delicious. Being vegan this recipe does not contain any dairy, rather the ‘ricotta’ is made from a base of cashews. The ‘cheesy’ spinach filling is wrapped up in filo pastry and baked in the oven. These delicious triangles are perfect for the work lunch, mid week dinner or even as a dinner party entree.
