Recipe Name: Tofu Feta Cheese

 

• 2 Tbsp warm water
• 2 Tbsp light olive oil or other neutral flavored oil
• 1 Tbsp nutritional yeast flakes
• 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar*
• 1 tsp lemon juice*
• 1 ¼ tsp salt
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• 1 lbs. firm tofu**

 

 

1. Press a block of tofu to extract as much water as possible. Crumble the tofu with your hands into small bite sized pieces and set aside.
2. Combine all ingredients except the tofu in a glass Pyrex dish.
3. Add the crumbled tofu to mixture in Pyrex dish and stir enough to coat the tofu well. Over stirring can break tofu into smaller pieces than desired for “feta” consistency.
4. Place in the fridge for at least 1 hour. Use as you would feta cheese  
    

*For a tangier feta, double the apple cider vinegar and lemon juice.

**Make sure that you use the firm refrigerated tofu; it will be the easiest to crumble into small bite sized pieces. Silken or any other softer tofu will crumble too easily and be more like scrambled tofu.
