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.
