TOFU CHEESE RECIPES

Steps:

• All tofu cheese recipes need to start with you pressing and draining your block of tofu. We suggest using a dedicated tofu press. If you don’t have a press, then wrap your tofu in paper towels and press down firmly using a heavy object (try a chopping board!). Leave your tofu to press for at least 20 mins to drain all that excess liquid.
• While your tofu is draining, you can prepare the vegan marinade. Simply mix together the lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, water, and oregano in a bowl. You can add salt as well, to suit your tastes.
• Once pressed and drained, use a sharp knife to slice your block of tofu into small, feta-sized cubes. Place the tofu cubes into the marinade and ensure that each piece has a good coating. Cover the bowl and leave it to marinate in the fridge for a minimum of 4 hours.
• When you’re happy with the strength of the flavoring, remove your tofu cheese and serve it as a delicious feta substitute!

Steps:

• Remove your tofu block from the package and place it into the tofu press. Leave pressing for 15 mins, then remove the block from the press.
• Place the pressed tofu, nutritional yeast, white miso, coconut oil, lemon juice, raw apple cider vinegar, sea salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and fresh or dried dill in a high-powered blender or food processor. Blend or puree until the mixture becomes very smooth. Stop the machine to scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula, as necessary.
• The mixture will likely get quite thick, so add unsweetened soy milk in small bits as needed. You may want to use a damper or wooden spoon to press down the mixture as it processes.
• Taste the non-dairy cream cheese, and add more sea salt to taste.
• Spread your delicious dairy-free cream cheese substitute on a slice of your favorite bread, and refrigerate the rest for later.
