TOFU CHEESE: VEGAN FETA RECIPE



Tofu Cheese: Vegan Feta Recipe image

Provided by Meredith James

Time 15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

10 ounces of firm tofu
¼ cup of lemon juice
½ cup of water
½ cup of apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp of oregano
Salt to taste

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!

GREEK SALAD WITH TOFU "FETA CHEESE"



Greek Salad with Tofu

I found this recipe on the net when I had to make a greek dish for my son's history class. I love the marinated Tofu, to me it is just as good as the Feta Cheese it substitutes and healthier, however you can substitute the Feta Cheese for the Tofu if preferred.
