Millennium - Tofu Spread

[Guest guest]

I had the same feeling about this cookbook - most of the recipes are a lot

more complicated that I want to prepare. Maybe for a special occasion, and

with help. This seems like the haute cuisine of the vegetarian cooking world.

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 yellow onion, cut lengthwise into thin -- crescents

3 cloves garlic -- pelled

1 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 cup dry white wine OR sherry -- vegetable stock

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

1/2 teaspoon dried sage

1/2 teaspoon fresh rosemary -- minced

1/2 teaspoon dried basil

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

3/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/2 cup light vegetable stock OR water

12 ounces firm tofu -- drained

1/4 cup light miso

 

In a large saute pan or skillet, cook the onions, garlic, salt and wine over

medium heat until the onions just start to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the

herbs and vegetable stock. Cover and cook until the liquid evaporates and the

onion and garlic are very soft and light brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from

heat and let cool to room temperature.

 

Crumble the tofu into a medium bowl. Add the miso and the onion mixture and

blend well. In a food processor, process this mixture, in batches if

necessary, until smooth. Serve at room temperature or chilled.

 

Makes about 2 1/2 cups.
