Brick pastry parcels stuffed with tofu, lemongrass and fennel
by
This delicious tofu parcel recipe is packed with aromatic flavour from smoked tofu, fennel, lemongrass and chilli for a stunning vegetarian dish. The feuille de brick pastry holds all of the filling in its crispy, golden exterior. Anna recommends serving with her gooseberry chutney recipe, but feel free to use another spiced, aromatic chutney. Feuille de brick pastry is usually dairy-free, so to make this a vegan feast simply swap the egg wash for a little water.
