Steps:
- Make the phyllo: In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center, and add warm water, 1/4 cup olive oil, and vinegar. Using a fork, work flour into the liquid until incorporated. Knead dough in bowl until it comes together, adding more flour if necessary, about 10 minutes. Cover, and let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add scallions and onions, and saute until wilted, about 10 minutes. Add mixed greens, and saute until wilted, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl, and add dill, parsley, mint, and chervil. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle trahana over filling, and combine.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly brush a 12 1/2-by-2-inch round cake pan with olive oil. Divide dough into six equal pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll one piece of dough into a 6-inch round with a rolling pin. Roll dough out and onto itself around a 24-inch dowel, rotating dough frequently. (You should be able to see your hands through the dough.) Transfer dough to a work surface dusted with cornmeal. Repeat rolling-and-rotating process with remaining dough, stacking each on top of the other, dusted with cornmeal.
- Fit one sheet of phyllo dough into prepared pan. Brush with olive oil, and repeat with two more sheets of phyllo. Place filling on top of phyllo, spreading evenly. Drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Top with remaining 3 sheets phyllo, brushing between layers with olive oil. Trim top and bottom crusts to create a 2-inch border around the perimeter of the loaf. Using a sharp knife, score pie through top and bottom crust in a diamond pattern.
- Transfer to oven, and bake until filling is set and crust is golden brown, about 1 hour. Let cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before serving.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat the oil in a large saucepan, add the onion with a pinch of salt and gently fry until softened, so around 8-10 mins. Stir in the garlic and nutmeg, cook for a minute, then add the greens along with a splash of water. Stir until wilted, so around 3 mins, then stir in the mascarpone, parmesan and a squeeze of lemon juice. Season well and tip the mixture into the base of a 20cm pie dish.
- Unroll the puff pastry and brush the edges of the pie dish with water. At this point, you can do what you want with the pastry - you could lattice it, crimp the edges, add decoration, or just stick it on as is. Seal it to the edge of the pie dish, brush with the beaten egg and bake for 35 mins until risen and golden. Allow to cool for 10 mins before serving.

LEMON TOFU-PHYLLO PIE WITH WINTER GREENS
Steps:
- TOFU: 1. Mash the tofu in a bowl. 2. Add rest of ingredients, stir until combined and set aside. VEGETABLES: 1. Steam greens for 3-4 minutes, until they turn a bright green. Drain, and set aside to cool. 2. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions, cook until browned, 3-4 minutes. 3. Add mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Increase heat and cook, stirring until mushrooms caramelize, about 5 minutes. 4. Stir in greens and tomatoes. Remove from heat. TO ASSEMBLE PIE: 1. Brush a 10 inch spring form pan or pie dish with butter. Place 5 sheets of phyllo down, brushing with butter between each layer. The extra pieces that hang over can be trimmed off at the end, or folded over. 2. Spread the vegetable layer, and cover with 2 more phyllo sheets, buttered in between. 3. Spread the tofu layer and top with 8-10 more phyllo layers, again, brushing with butter between each layer. 4. Brush top with butter. Lightly score top into 6 slices, taking care to only cut phyllo layer. Sprinkle with paprika. 5. Bake until browned, about 35 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the pie will taste. Look for fresh, organic produce and high-quality tofu.
- Don't overcook the tofu. Tofu should be cooked until it is just heated through, otherwise it will become tough and rubbery.
- Use a variety of winter greens. This will give the pie a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include kale, spinach, Swiss chard, and collard greens.
- Don't skimp on the lemon zest. Lemon zest is what gives this pie its bright, citrusy flavor. Use at least 1 tablespoon of zest, or more to taste.
- Serve the pie warm or at room temperature. This is the best way to enjoy the flavors and textures of the pie.
Conclusion:
If you're looking for a delicious and healthy vegetarian main dish, this lemon tofu phyllo pie is a great option. It's packed with flavor and nutrients, and it's easy to make. So next time you're in the mood for something different, give this pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
