Tofu Mayonnaise

 

Recipe By :Mollie Katzen

Serving Size : 0 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Tofu & Tempeh

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

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

20 ounces silken tofu -- (two 10-oz boxes)

(soft or firm)

2 small cloves garlic -- minced

2 tablespoons cider vinegar

1 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons dry mustard -- optional

 

1. Place all ingredients in a blender, and whip until smooth. (You might need to

do this in two batches.)

 

2. Transfer to a container with a tight fitting lid, cover, and refrigerate

until use. (It will keep for up to 5 days.)

 

Mollie's notes: Cholesterol- and oil-free, this tastes surprisingly like egg

mayonnaise. The big test came when I fed this to several different tofu-phobic

mayonnaise aficionados, and they loved it.

 

Note: Silken tofu is an ultra-smooth soybean curd that comes in little

vacuum-packed boxes. It is sold in natural food stores and in many

supermarkets.

 

Brenda's notes: I only had about 10 ounces of Mori-Nu's Silken firm tofu on

hand, so I put that into the blender and then added about 3 cloves of garlic (we

like garlic), drizzled in some cider vinegar, sprinkles of salt and dry mustard

to taste... and then I went crazy. This stuff is GOOD!!! I've been dipping

pretzels in it ever since. It reminds me very much of my favorite deli's dip:

cream cheese, sour cream, artichoke heart, green onion -- they sell it (with all

it's saturated fat and calories) for $6.99 a pound! I am going to now have all

the darned dip I want for cheap and way less unhealthy -- for one thing, the bad

fat is minimal in this. I'm so excited about this recipe!! (And I've always

been tofu-phobic..but not anymore!)
