Tofu Pesto
Serves 6
This tofu-based, miso- and basil-flavored pesto is perfect to toss with hot pasta or whole grains. Or spread it on slices of whole wheat bread or crackers and serve alongside a tossed salad, too.
Ingredients
1 pound tofu
2 tablespoons sunflower seeds or pine nuts
2 cups fresh basil
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 teaspoons mellow barley miso
Method
Bring water to a boil in a sauce pan. Add tofu and simmer 20 minutes. Roast seeds or nuts in a pan over medium heat for about 5 minutes until they just begin to brown. Chop basil and combine with oil, garlic and miso in a food processor until a paste is formed. Add tofu and seeds. Chill at least 30 minutes.
