REALLY GOOD VEGAN SPINACH TOFU DIP (EVEN IF YOU HATE TOFU/VEGAN

Steps:

• Defrost spinach and squeeze out as much liquid as you can.
• Drain tofu of any excess liquid.
• Place tofu and oil in a large bowl. Use a hand mixer on high speed to combine them until creamy.
• Add pepper, vegetable bouillon powder, dried basil, garlic powder, soy sauce, and lemon juice. Blend on high speed for 1 minute.
• On low speed, mix in onion, spinach, and olives.
• Taste and adjust seasonings to your preference.
• Cover the bowl and place in the fridge. Let it sit for at least 8 hours for the flavours to meld, preferably overnight.
• Serve with crackers, bread, chips, or vegetables for dipping.

SPINACH TOFU DIP

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in blender and process until smooth. Transfer to bowl and serve with raw vegetables.

TOFU ' CREAMY' PASTA SAUCE

Steps:

• Blend the tofu, garlic, parsley, herbs, paprika, and salt. (Add any herbs you want).
• Then thin with soy milk to achieve consistency. I like mine rather thick so it coats the pasta.
• When mixed, heat thoroughly in a pan before putting on pasta. (It tends too cool too quick if just poured over pasta and quickly heated.) DON'T LET IT BOIL THOUGH! It will separate and turn pasty if you do, which just isn't pleasant.

TOFU WITH SPINACH SAUCE

Steps:

• Trim and wash spinach; do not dry. Chop leaves in one-inch pieces. Cut tofu in two horizontally and wrap in paper towels. Put it under a couple of plates.
• Put butter or oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. A minute later, add ginger, garlic and chilies and cook, stirring occasionally, until garlic begins to color.
• Stir in garam masala or curry powder and a large pinch of salt and cook, stirring, for about 30 seconds. Add spinach and cook, stirring, until it wilts, then add yogurt and a cup of cream. Pick out chilies and discard.
• Cook mixture over medium-high heat; liquid in spinach will boil off. When mixture is nearly dry, cut tofu into half-inch pieces and incorporate. When tofu is hot, add remaining cream and cook for another minute or two, stirring. Adjust seasoning and serve.
