Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 block (approximately 14 oz) Firm tofu
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Water (if needed)
Instructions
Press the tofu: Drain the tofu block and press it between two plates or using a tofu press to remove excess moisture. Let it press for 10-15 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
Crumble the pressed tofu into smaller chunks and add it to a food processor or blender.
Add the olive oil, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, nutritional yeast, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to the food processor.
Blend the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add a tablespoon of water to help it blend, but keep the consistency thick and spreadable.
Transfer the tofu mixture to a medium-sized bowl.
Fold in the chopped parsley, chives, and dill using a spatula until the herbs are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Transfer the finished Tofu Boursin into a serving dish or airtight container. For the best flavor, let it chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve with crackers, bread, or fresh vegetables. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days.
