Ingredients

• 250 grams extra firm tofu
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 units garlic cloves
• 1 medium onion
• 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 2 cups unsweetened plant-based milk
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 0.5 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chives

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the tofu: wrap the tofu block in a clean kitchen towel or paper towel, and press it with a heavy object to remove excess moisture for around 10 minutes.

Step 2

In a saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic. Add both to the heated oil, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Crumble the pressed tofu into the saucepan, and stir in the nutritional yeast. Cook for another 3 minutes, allowing the tofu to absorb the flavors.

Step 5

Slowly add the plant-based milk, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer while stirring frequently.

Step 6

In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and cornstarch, stirring to create a smooth paste.

Step 7

Gradually add this paste to the saucepan, ensuring to stir continuously to avoid lumps. Continue cooking until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.

Step 8

Season the sauce with nutmeg, salt, and black pepper, adjusting to taste.

Step 9

Finely chop the chives and add them to the sauce, stirring to incorporate.

Step 10

Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool slightly before serving. If you prefer a smoother texture, blend the sauce using an immersion blender for a fine, creamy texture.

Step 11

Serve warm over pasta, grilled vegetables, or as a topping for grilled chicken or fish.
