Ingredients:
4-6 pieces of matzah (depending on shape and size of casserole dish you're cooking with!)
Jar of vegan tomato sauce
1 onion
1 scallion
1 tablespoon of fresh garlic
Small handful of oregano (fresh) or a good shake of the dried stuff
1 package of silken tofu
3 tablespoons of vegan ricotta cheese (Try Tofutti brand!)- this is optional if you can't find it
a couple handfuls of shredded vegan cheese of your choice, I used Trader Joe's brand mozzarella, but Daiya is amazing too (both for Sephardic tradition- Soy or tapioca based ingredients)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Soak your matzah pieces in water for about 2 minutes (I used the shallow casserole dish I cooked the whole dish in), and remove when softened but before they fall apart.
Sauté your onions, scallion, garlic, oregano together for a few minutes in a saucepan and then add tomato sauce and stir together well for about ten minutes.
Once sauce is ready, layer in a shallow casserole dish your ingredients in the following order:
Thin layer of tomato sauce mixture
Spoonfuls of vegan Ricotta
Spoonfuls of ½ your tofu package
(Smooth the ricotta and tofu evenly over the sauce if it's in chunks... don't worry about it blending a bit with the sauce)
Top it off with half of your matzah pieces laying on top (break up if you need to to cover the entire area)
Add another layer of your remaining sauce mixture
Add remaining tofu, and spread out evenly
Top it off with remaining matzah pieces, and sprinkle on a few small handfuls of shredded vegan cheese
Bake for about 35 minutes. Once done, allow to cool and enjoy!
