Make Feta In Less Than 10 Minutes

With Tofu!

Now, I know tofu is not feta cheese! BUT… this simple recipe is super tasty, ready in a pinch, and creates a flavour and texture in the same wheelhouse as Greek feta.

If you’re new to using tofu:

• This recipe uses Extra Firm Tofu.
  • You want the “feta” to hold its shape in cubes after sitting in the dressing AND crumble easily with your fingers for a crumbled topping.
• Silken, soft, or even medium tofu will not hold together enough for this recipe.
  • Their higher water content will make them break down in the dressing instead of holding in cubes.
• Some brands of extra firm tofu are pre-pressed and you can skip pressing the water out.
  • If your extra firm tofu seems like it is holding more water, use a tofu press or wrap the tofu in a clean towel and place a heavy skillet on top for about 10 minutes. This will drain some of the water and allow the tofu to soak up more of the flavourful dressing!

The Flavourings For Tofu Feta

These tasty ingredients make up this quick and easy feta marinade:

• Apple cider vinegar for its sweet, vinegary, tartness
• Miso paste to add salty flavour and the depth that comes with the fermented paste
• Sea salt for the extra saltiness you expect from a feta
• Parsley or any other fresh herb you desire for some extra freshness
• And nutritional yeast is an optional flavour booster for a deeper savouriness.

1. Mix all the dressing ingredients together in a bowl,
2. Pour the dressing over your tofu feta cubes,
3. And if possible, refrigerate for about 2 hours before serving for a deeper taste.
