Tofu Ricotta

  • Author: Stephanie Bosch
  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 8 1x

Description

Used as a spread or a dip, this is wonderful in pasta or on toast!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 block of extra firm tofu (12 oz), finely crumbled (no need to press)
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil; olive or grapeseed oil
  • 2 1/2 tbsp shallot, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Drain tofu. I didn’t press mine but did hand squeeze a lot of the water out.
  2. Add the crumbled tofu, tahini, nutritional yeast, and shallot to a food processor.
  3. Pulse it in the food processor. Don’t let the food processor run. You don’t want this to turn into a paste. Just pulse it a few times until your ricotta is chunky.
  4. Remove tofu from the processor and add to a bowl.
  5. Add the garlic, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
  6. Slowly drizzle oil, and mix well.
  7. Stir and add sea salt and freshly ground pepper.
  8. Enjoy!

Notes

This freezes super well! The texture may even get better after freezing and thawing. Freeze it in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge and enjoy as usual.
