Ingredients
- 300 grams Extra firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.75 teaspoon Sea salt
- 3 tablespoons Water
Directions
Step 1
Drain the tofu and press it to remove excess liquid. Place it between two plates or use a tofu press. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
Step 2
After pressing, pat the tofu dry with a clean kitchen towel and crumble it into a medium-sized bowl to mimic the texture of feta cheese.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the nutritional yeast, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, sea salt, and water to form a marinade.
Step 4
Pour the marinade over the crumbled tofu and gently toss until the tofu is evenly coated in the mixture.
Step 5
Transfer the marinated tofu to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to develop. For best results, marinate overnight.
Step 6
When ready to serve, give the vegan feta a gentle stir to redistribute the marinade. Use it as a topping for salads, pasta, or grain bowls, or enjoy it as a savory snack.
