Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 block (approximately 14 oz) Firm tofu
- 0.5 cup Sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 0.25 cup (loosely packed) Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (optional, for desired consistency) Water
Instructions
Step 1: Drain the tofu and pat it dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Step 2: Roughly chop the sun-dried tomatoes and garlic cloves.
Step 3: Add the drained tofu, sun-dried tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, fresh basil leaves, salt, and black pepper to a food processor or high-speed blender.
Step 4: Process the mixture until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. If the dip is too thick, add the water one tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is achieved.
Step 5: Taste the dip and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your preference.
Step 6: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with a few chopped sun-dried tomatoes or a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
Step 7: Serve immediately with crackers, fresh vegetables, or bread, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Bring to room temperature before serving.
