Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Extra firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.75 teaspoon Sea salt
- 3 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Drain the tofu and press it to remove excess liquid. Place it between two plates or use a tofu press. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
After pressing, pat the tofu dry with a clean kitchen towel and crumble it into a medium-sized bowl to mimic the texture of feta cheese.
In a small bowl, whisk together the nutritional yeast, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, sea salt, and water to form a marinade.
Pour the marinade over the crumbled tofu and gently toss until the tofu is evenly coated in the mixture.
Transfer the marinated tofu to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to develop. For best results, marinate overnight.
When ready to serve, give the vegan feta a gentle stir to redistribute the marinade. Use it as a topping for salads, pasta, or grain bowls, or enjoy it as a savory snack.
