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!
