Greetings dear friends, welcome to my blog. Today I am once again joining the weekly contest Qurator's: Hive Top Chef! | Tofuito. This week's recipe is tofu. It's not easy to find here in my city, so if I want to eat it, I have to make it myself. You can use grains for this, which is why I decided to use green peas to enjoy a healthy, vegan, and delicious meal. This recipe calls for nutritional yeast, not the conventional kind, and the former is difficult to find, which is why I couldn't use it.
I made this pea tofu my own way, unlike the original recipe which is soy-based. After soaking the peas for 48 hours, I added onion, garlic, cumin, dried oregano, and salt. I cooked it over low heat, which is typical of the recipe, and ended up with a consistent, smooth, and above all delicious tofu.
Ingredients
- 1 cup of peas, soaked for 48 hours
- 33 grams of onion
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1/2 cup of water
- 1 teaspoon of cumin
- 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
- Salt to taste
Preparation
1.- Wash the peas that have been soaked for 48 hours and pour them into the blende.
2.- Peel the onion, wash it, and chop it into pieces. Peel the garlic cloves as well. Add everything to the blender along with the peas.
3.-. Gradually add the water and blend little by little until you obtain a smooth mixture.
4.-. Add salt to taste, cumin, and dried oregano to the blended pea mixture. Blend again and pour the mixture into a pot. Adjust the salt to taste.
5.-. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the liquid evaporates and the mixture thickens.
6.-. Place a bag of rice packaging in a rectangular mold (you can use wax paper or simply grease the mold with olive or soybean oil), pour in the mixture, and spread it out with a spoon.
7.-. Let the tofu cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for about 7 hours. After that time, remove from the mold and cut into cubes.
We only heat up the portions we need and then we can eat it or brown it a little in a pan.
I hope you liked it, this has been my participation in Hive Top Chef competition. See you another time.
