Prep Time: 30 mins
Servings: 4
An easy and flavorful oil-free tofu "feta cheese".
Ingredients
- 1 350-400 gram/12-14 ounce package of firm tofu (organic is ideal)
- ⅓ cup packed sun-dried tomatoes soaked in water for 15 minutes
- ¼ cup chopped green olives pits removed
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon sea or Himalayan salt
- Optional: Pinch red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Drain the tofu and cut into ½ inch cubes. Place the tofu in a steamer basket and into a pot with 2-3 inches of water (make sure the water is below the steamer basket). Cover and bring to a boil. Steam the tofu for 3-5 minutes.
- Remove the tofu from the steamer basket and let it cool completely.
- Meanwhile, drain the soaking sun-dried tomatoes and dice them. Add the cooled tofu, sun-dried tomatoes, chopped olives and lemon juice to a medium sized bowl and toss.
- Add the remaining ingredients and mix until well combined and all tofu cubes are evenly coated with spices.
- Serve as a side dish or in a salad or a wrap.
Notes
This dish can be made the night before and left in the fridge overnight – the tofu will absorb more of the flavour.
Make sure the tofu is cooled before mixing with other ingredients.
Feel free to add hemp seeds, slivered almonds or chopped herbs like mint, basil or cilantro.
