Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams firm tofu
- 50 grams raw cashews
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Drain the tofu and wrap it in a clean kitchen towel. Press it gently to remove excess moisture.
Place the raw cashews in a heatproof bowl. Boil a small pot of water and pour it over the cashews to soak them for 5 minutes to soften.
Peel the garlic clove and chop it into smaller pieces for easy blending.
In a food processor or high-speed blender, add the pressed tofu, soaked and drained cashews, honey, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, cinnamon, and water.
Blend the mixture on high speed for 1–2 minutes or until it forms a smooth, creamy texture. Scrape down the sides as needed to ensure everything is well incorporated.
Taste the spread and adjust the seasoning, adding more honey for sweetness, lemon juice for tanginess, or salt if desired.
Transfer the Honey Nut Tofu Spread to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled or at room temperature with crackers, bread, or fresh vegetables.
