    Tofu Ricotta
     
    Print
    Author: Alisa Fleming
    Ingredients
    • 1 box Mori-Nu silken tofu
    • 1 lb firm, fresh tofu
    • ¼ cup olive oil
    • 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
    • 2 tablespoon nutritional yeast
    • 1 tablespoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon pepper
    • 2 tablespoon herbs (basil, parsley, oregano, etc)
    • ¼ cup lemon juice
    Instructions
    1. Puree in a food processor with the “s” blade, but not too well—ricotta has a little bit of texture, it’s not completely smooth. You can also make in a bowl with a potato masher.
    2. Taste and adjust seasonings to your own personal tastes.
    3. Bake in a lasagna or on polenta.

      Is there an alternative to the nutritional yeast? I see that it can be omitted but was wondering if there was a yeast free alternative?

        Hi Kelly, there isn’t an even substitute for nutritional yeast. As recommended in this recipe, I would omit it. If you want a touch of umami, you can add a little miso, to taste.

      Just curious what is the purpose for the nutritional yeast? Can it be left out if I can’t find it?

        Hi Kimberly, nutritional yeast gives it that cheesy “umami” flavor. You can omit it, for a little less cheesiness, but still good alternative. I’ve made tofu ricotta quite a bit without nutritional yeast. I do recommend trialing nutritional yeast some time though. One package goes a long ways as you only need a little and it’s very light.
