Guest guest Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 This is what i fixed when I was in the mood for cottage cheese this morning. It's another way of using tofu as a substitute for different foods. (a small recipe for egg/dairy-free mayo follows). CREAMY COTTAGE CHEESE (recipe from "Vegan Vittles") 1/2 lb reduced-fat regular tofu (firm)1/4 c. low-fat, vegan mayonaisse1/2 t. salt1/2 t. garlic granules (optional)1/2 t. dill weed, ground dill seed, or ground caraway seed (optional) 1. Place all the ingredients in a medium mxing bowl, and stir them together until they are well combined. 2. Transfer the mixture to a storage container, and chill it in the refrigerator. It will keep for about 5 days. YIELD: 1-1/4 CUPSPER 1/4 C. SERVING: Calories, 59; Protein, 6 g; Carbohydrates, 2g; Fat, 3g. LOW-FAT, EGG-FREE MAYONAISSE (recipe from "The Saucy Vegetarian") 3/4 c. crumbled silken tofu (mori-nu brand soft silken, is what I use)1 T. extra-virgin olive oil1 t. fresh lemon juice1 t. apple cider vinegar1 t. sugarheaping 1/4 t. salt1/4 t. prepared yellow mustard (the type that is usually used on sandwiches) Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor fitted with a metal blade. Process until creamy & chill. Stir before serving. YIELD: ABOUT 3/4 C.PER TABLESPOON: Calories, 23; Protein, 1g; Fat, 2g; Carbohydrates, 1g. I like both these recipes because they only make up a small amount. Comes in handy when you're the only one in the house & you don't want to waste anything.
