Ingredients
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp water
Sea salt + black pepper, to taste (~1/2 tsp each)
2 lemons, juiced (~1/3 cup)
12 ounces extra-firm tofu, drained and pressed dry for 10 minutes
4 Tbsp nutritional yeast
1/2 cup fresh basil, packed (optional)
1 Tbsp dried oregano, or Italian herb blend
3 Tbsp vegan parmesan
Recipe Steps
Add all tofu filling ingredients to a food processor or blender.
Pulse to combine, scraping down sides as needed.
You are looking for a semi-pureed mixture with bits of basil still intact.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more salt and pepper for flavor, nutritional yeast for cheesiness, and lemon juice for brightness.
Use to top pizza or pasta. Bake as recipe directs.
