Ingredients

  • 1 block firm tofu
  • 1/4 c water
  • juice of 1 lemon about 3 T
  • 2 T apple cider vinegar
  • 1 t dried oregano
  • 2 t salt
  • 1 T nutritional yeast
  • 2 T olive oil optional, but recommended for flavor!
  • 1 clove minced garlic

Instructions

  • Press the block of tofu (in a press, or wrapped in paper towels, in between plates and weighted down).
  • Combine all of the marinade ingredients in a small container (large enough to eventually fit the tofu).
  • Cut the tofu into small 1/2" cubes. Place the tofu cubes into the marinated and gently mix to cover all of the tofu.
  • Marinate in the fridge for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight, turning it a few times to make sure the marinade coats all of the tofu.
  • After the tofu marinates, drain it, discarding the marinade.
  • Spread the tofu out onto a baking pan lined with parchment.
  • Bake in a 200° oven for 2 hours, turning tofu every 30 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and use wherever you would normally use feta.
  • Store in the fridge for up to a week.
