Tofu Spread with Lime
About
This recipe came from an online vegetarian newsgroup. I had asked for a recipe that would be a dairy-free substitute for cream cheese. While this doesnβt match the taste of real cream cheese, it has a nice flavour and texture. Use it on bread, baked potatoes or as a veggie dip. Mori-Nu is an excellent brand of silken tofu for this type of recipe. You can vary the firmness of the tofu depending on the desired consistency of the final product.
Ingredients
Silken tofu (firm or extra firm) | 12 oz | |
Caraway seeds | 1/8 tsp | |
Dill, dried | 1/4 tsp | |
Lime juice, freshly squeezed | from 3 limes | |
Water | 2 Tbsp | |
Oil (optional) | 1 tsp |
Directions
Place all ingredients in blender and blend until creamy.
Variation
For a zesty tofu spread use 1/2 tsp salt, a pinch of cayenne pepper and the juice of 3 small lemons in place of the caraway seeds, dill and lime juice.
