I wish we had enough freezer space to have filo pastry on hand all the time. Hi Liz; I'm glad you liked the recipe - tofu patties need sauce, you're definitely right! The first day, we had some leftover red wine roux from Veganomicon, but it was a little overpowering - I'd go for milder flavors. The other sauce we had was basil yogurt sauce, which was a good match. I didn't write it down, but it went something like this: some plain unsweetened soy yogurt mixed with a teaspoon of dried basil, one clove garlic (pressed), some salt, a pinch of sugar, and freshly ground black pepper. Just mix and serve, it's really tasty and easy - so I definitely recommend it. Adding fresh basil would be great too, we just didn't have any. We have plain Alpro-brand soy yogurt in Europe that's perfect for these kinds of sauces, since it's thick and tangy. Maybe you have something similar, and I guess regular soy yogurt would be fine too. Hope this helps! Shvetha; you really should make spanakopitas, they’re delicious!

Are there any sauces you would recommend for them, though? I was stumped (my sauce-making ability extends about as far as marinara, :p) pictures of patties! http://bulletsoflove.blogspot.com/2007/12/toasty-food-for-frosty-day.html those look so crispy-tempting! also, I tried the tofu patties, they’re great!
