TOFU CHEESE: VEGAN FETA RECIPE

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!
