Recetas de tostadas con crema de tofu

Ingredientes

• 100 grams silken tofu, crumbled
• 2 tablespoon tahini paste (sesame seed paste)
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 4 tablespoon water, at room temperature
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1 lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
• crushed black pepper or to taste
• 2 medium tomatoes
• chopped basil/chives
• drizzle of olive oil

Preparación

1. 1

   Carefully open package of tofu and drain off any excess water. You don’t need to press the tofu. Break the tofu into easy to blend chunks and add it to a high-speed blender or food processor.

2. 2

   Add the lemon juice, tahini paste, garlic, salt, olive oil, and pepper to the blender with the tofu.

3. 3

   Blend on high using one tablespoon of water at a time until completely smooth and creamy. It should resemble a thick, spreadable cream cheese or a very smooth hummus. Taste and adjust seasoning.

4. 4

   Slice your tomatoes into ½ inch thick rounds (or halve cherry tomatoes). Drizzle with olive oil, a pinch of salt, garlic, and pepper, and gently toss to coat.

5. 5

   Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Place the tomato slices directly on the hot grill. Grill for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they have nice grill marks and are slightly softened but still hold their shape.

6. 6

   Spread whipped tofu on the toast and serve immediately.
