Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Lump crab meat
- 300 grams Firm tofu
- 8 pieces Asparagus spears
- 120 grams Cream cheese
- 100 grams Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 100 grams Plain Greek yogurt
- 2 teaspoons Curry powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 stalks Spring onion (green onions)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Prepare the tofu by draining it and pressing it to remove excess moisture. Set aside.
Rinse the asparagus spears and trim off the woody ends. Chop the spears into small, bite-sized pieces.
In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped asparagus and sauté for 3-4 minutes until tender and slightly crisp. Set aside.
In a blender or food processor, combine the pressed tofu, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, curry powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Transfer the blended mixture to a mixing bowl. Fold in the lump crab meat, sautéed asparagus, and chopped spring onions, reserving a small amount of crab meat and asparagus for garnish.
Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray. Pour the mixture into the dish and spread evenly.
Top the dip with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly with a golden cheese topping.
Remove from the oven, garnish with the reserved crab, asparagus, and a sprinkle of paprika or chopped green onions, if desired.
Serve warm with crackers, crusty bread, or fresh vegetable slices for dipping.
