Tofu Feta

Notes

Inspired by the tofu feta in The Fiber Fueled Cookbook. Oregano and salt are reduced for a clean, classic flavor. Best marinated overnight or started in the morning for same-day use.

Ingredients

  • Feta Brine:
  • 2 tbsp chickpea miso (or white miso)
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
  • Tofu:
  • 14–16 oz extra firm tofu

Instructions

  1. Rinse tofu and wrap in a kitchen towel or paper towel to release excess moisture.
  2. Whisk all brine ingredients together in a dish.
  3. Crumble or cube tofu, or a mix of both.
  4. Add tofu to the brine and marinate in an airtight container or vacuum seal bag for at least 8 hours.
  5. Store refrigerated. Keeps several days.
