I love Toby’s.  Pretty much everyone does.  Like so many things, I just stupided into a perfect clone of this, -ala- my Yumm-Sauce clone a while back.

INGREDENTS:

  1. 1 16oz block Super- or Extra-Firm Tofu (undrained).
  2. 1 stick celery (cleaned, leaves on).
  3. 1/2 to 1 cup Vegenaise (depending on how creamy you like it).
  4. 2 green onions (cleaned, with greens on)
  5. 2-3 tbsp nutritional yeast
  6. 1 tbsp cider vinegar
  7. 1 tbsp lemon juice
  8. 1/2 tsp celery salt
  9. 1/2 tsp sea salt.
  10. 1/2 tsp turmeric.
  11. 1-2 tsp water.
  12. 1 pack powdered guacamole seasoning (brand of your choice).

DIRECTIONS:

  • Place celery and onions into food processor.  Whizz up until broken down into bite-sized pieces.
  • Break the tofu into chunks and place in food processor with all other ingredients except the water.  Whizz to a paste, adding water until desired consistency is reached.

Smoky Sun-Dried Tomato Cheese Spread https://vegannosh.me/2010/01/06/smoky-sun-dried-tomato-cheese-spread/ https://vegannosh.me/2010/01/06/smoky-sun-dried-tomato-cheese-spread/#respond Thu, 07 Jan 2010 02:13:00 +0000 http://vegannosh.ckblogs.me/2010/01/06/smoky-sun-dried-tomato-cheese-spread/

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb cream cheese (Tofutti Better Than Cream Cheese–Non-Hydro is what I use)
  • 2 tbsp port wine reduction*
  • 1 tbsp cider vinegar
  • 7-8 oz sun dried tomatoes in olive oil (drained)
  • 2 tbsp brown rice syrup
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional)

Add all ingredients to a food processor and blend well (2min minimum so as to finely mince the tomatoes.)  Refrigerate over-night for flavors to meld and spread to thicken.  For a dip instead of a spread, double the water to 1/2 cup, or until desired consistency is reached.

Port Reduction

  • 3 cups ruby port
  • 3 tbsp dehydrated onion flakes
  • 3 bay leaves

Bring to low boil uncovered.  Reduce down to 1/2 cup, siring frequently with a whisk (about 30min).  Strain.  With the back of a mixing spoon, press onions of liquid, and save for something else.

May be reduced even further once onions are removed to make a syrup.
