- 1 teaspoon cornstarch made into a slurry with 1 teaspoon water

- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- 1 tablespoon tahini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, preferably extra-virgin
- Grapeseed oil
- 4 tablespoons 1/4-inch cubes hard and firm tofu
- 16 sheets phyllo dough (based on 18 by 14-inch sheets which are often sold in packs of 18 to 20 for thickness number 4)
- 1 cup melted butter
- 1 or 2 eggs, lightly beaten, for egg wash
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions
-
1Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
-
2On a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil for easy cleanup, toss eggplant, zucchini, garlic, and onion with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
-
3Roast vegetables for about 30 to 40 minutes until tender, being sure to monitor so they don't burn.
-
4Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature.
-
5While the vegetables are in the oven, make the chutney.
-
6Heat the grapeseed oil over medium-high heat in a small saucepan until it begins to shimmer.
-
7Add the shallot and saute until it begins to turn translucent, being careful not to burn it.
-
8Add the orange juice, balsamic vinegar, mango, and parsley, and allow the liquid to reduce by 2/3.
-
9Season with salt and pepper, stir in slurry to thicken and let cook for about 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
-
10To prepare hummus:
-
11Add the garbanzo beans, garlic, crushed red pepper, lemon juice, tahini, and olive oil to a food processor.
-
12Pulse to combine and coarsely chop.
-
13Heat grapeseed oil over medium heat in a skillet and sear the tofu cubes.
-
14Set aside until needed.
-
15Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
-
16If phyllo was defrosted, make sure it is completely defrosted before handling it.
-
17Once removed from package, you will need to cover phyllo with waxed paper and a damp towel to prevent it from drying out.
-
18Working with 1 sheet at a time, lay out a dough sheet on a baking sheet and brush on butter, and lay another sheet on top and brush with butter.
-
19Fold in half, brush on butter again and fold in half again so you have a thickness of 8 layers.
-
20Spread 1 tablespoon hummus on phyllo and top with 1/4 cup of the roasted vegetable mixture and 1 tablespoon diced tofu.
-
21Fold in corners of phyllo dough to the center and brush with egg wash. Repeat to make 4 phyllo purses.
-
22Place on a baking sheet and bake in oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes.
-
23Remove from oven and serve hot with mango chutney on the side.
