How to Make Rice and Vegetable Stuffed Filo Dome
You do not know what to serve for your Vegan Thanksgiving dinner, well try filo domes. These filo domes are very elegant, taste great and yet very easy to make. The best part is that you can make them couple days before your holiday dinner.First start by making your rice with vegetables and nuts . The rice can be made the day before. Usually I make the rice for dinner and serve with salad for a healthy meal, but I always make extra to use for the filo domes.Get the filo dough and follow instruction on the box to prevent the filo dough from drying. You can use butter or ghee to make these domes but for vegan I use coconut oil.
Choose your mold. You can make the dome in muffin cup or small pie pan, which I do. I think, it is good serving size per person.
Melt the coconut oil. Brush the the filo sheet and fold in half for small pie pan. Place into the pan. Repeat until you have 10 layers. Sprinkle with the salt and chili mixture. Place about tea spoon of the toasted pine nuts onto the filo dough. Top the pine nut with about cup of the rice stuffing, sprinkle with the lemon zest and then fold the dough to cover the stuffing.
Bake in 350 F degree oven for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, dust with the sumac and touch of the salt and chili mixture. Sprinkle with the toasted pine nuts and serve.
