Tofu Spread
Yield: approximately 2¼ cups
I’ve been enjoying this recipe for years. It resembles cream cheese, for vegans and fans of tofu, although not quite the same in texture. I spread it on toasted bagels and rice cakes.
Ingredients:
1 package organic firm tofu (about 14oz or 400g), steamed
¼ cup tahini (sesame seed paste)
3 scallions, thinly sliced
¾ teaspoon Herbamare*
*HerbamareÆ is a fine sea salt infused with organic fresh herbs and vegetables
available in health food stores and select grocery stores.
Method:
Quarter tofu and place in stainless steel vegetable steamer basket over gently boiling water. Cover pot with lid, reduce heat to low and steam 12-15 minutes.
Transfer cooked tofu to food processor. Add tahini, scallions, Herbamare and approximately ½ cup steaming water. Process until a creamy spreadable texture is achieved, approximately 1 minute. Add more steaming water if necessary. Adjust seasoning and enjoy.
Variations:
Enjoy with pita wedges, pita chips or as a tartine on a slice of artisan bread.
