Recipe type: Cheese
Cuisine: Greek
Serves: Roughly 1½ cups
Ingredients
- 1 block firm tofu, pressed(14 oz package approx 350g-400g)
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 tbsp white miso paste
- 5 oz refined/deodorized coconut oil, melted
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1½ tsp onion powder
Instructions
- Press your tofu to remove excess liquid and Place tofu, nutritional yeast, miso, coconut oil, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, salt and onion powder in a blender. Puree until very smooth, scraping down the sides.
- It gets quite thick, so you will need to help it along with a damper or wooden spoon. This may take some time, let it blend.
- Taste and salt as needed.
- Place tofu mixture into a sealable Tupperware or bowl. Cover and place in the fridge to firm up overnight.
- Cut into feta-like cubes, or use a spoon to scrape out the feta and top salads, use in spanakopita, or spread on crackers or bread.
NOTE: line your bowl or Tupperware with plastic wrap or parchment if you plan on cutting it into feta-like cubes for ease of release.
