Ingredients

• 200 grams Lump crab meat
• 300 grams Firm tofu
• 8 pieces Asparagus spears
• 120 grams Cream cheese
• 100 grams Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 100 grams Plain Greek yogurt
• 2 teaspoons Curry powder
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 stalks Spring onion (green onions)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

Prepare the tofu by draining it and pressing it to remove excess moisture. Set aside.

Step 3

Rinse the asparagus spears and trim off the woody ends. Chop the spears into small, bite-sized pieces.

Step 4

In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped asparagus and sauté for 3-4 minutes until tender and slightly crisp. Set aside.

Step 5

In a blender or food processor, combine the pressed tofu, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, curry powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Transfer the blended mixture to a mixing bowl. Fold in the lump crab meat, sautéed asparagus, and chopped spring onions, reserving a small amount of crab meat and asparagus for garnish.

Step 7

Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray. Pour the mixture into the dish and spread evenly.

Step 8

Top the dip with shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly with a golden cheese topping.

Step 10

Remove from the oven, garnish with the reserved crab, asparagus, and a sprinkle of paprika or chopped green onions, if desired.

Step 11

Serve warm with crackers, crusty bread, or fresh vegetable slices for dipping.
