Anyone know how to cream tofu in a blender to use in soups and sauces in lieu of cheese or milk?
Here's a savory tofu sauce recipe that makes cooked vegetables divine. It's good with meat too. Some of the ingredients, like almond oil, are pricey at first, but once you have them they keep and you can use them for a lot of this stuff.
1/2 cup almond oil, soy oil or sunflower oil ****if this is too much oil, start small and add as needed.
1 cup water
1/4 cup Bragg Liquid Aminos **this stuff is pretty salty. I think it provides a lot of the taste, but if sodium is an issue, go light on it and add more if you need it.**
1/8 cup brewer's yeast flakes
1/4 tsp kelp powder
1/4 tsp Spike seasoning **ditto on the salt, but this is pretty small.
1/4 tsp basil
1/8 tsp granulated garlic ***I put *$&@#loads of garlic in everything. A few cloves makes this good. A lot of cloves makes it better. Might be a good partial substitute for some of the salty stuff.
1 1/2 tsp. lemon juice
1 1/2 tsp Tamari sauce / tamari soy sauce
1 pkg firm tofu (16 oz), rinsed well
Blend the above ingredients until smooth and creamy. Makes about 2 cups.
