Ingredients
- 14 oz Firm tofu
- 3 tbsp Lemon juice
- 2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 1 tsp Sea salt
- 2 tbsp Water
Directions
Step 1
Drain the tofu and wrap it in a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture. Place a heavy object on top (such as a skillet) and let it press for 10 minutes.
Step 2
Cut the pressed tofu into small cubes, approximately 1/2 inch in size, to mimic the texture of traditional feta cheese.
Step 3
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, dried oregano, sea salt, and water to create the marinade.
Step 4
Add the tofu cubes to the bowl and gently toss to coat each piece thoroughly in the marinade. Ensure the tofu is fully submerged or well-coated for optimal flavor absorption.
Step 5
Transfer the marinated tofu to an airtight container or jar. Pour any remaining marinade over the tofu to cover it as much as possible.
Step 6
Refrigerate the tofu for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and infuse the tofu.
Step 7
Once marinated, the tofu feta is ready to use. Stir gently before serving and add it to your salads, wraps, or any dish needing a feta-like tangy flavor. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to one week.
