This mildly spiced paté is a wonderful spread that the whole family will enjoy.
1 tsp. butter
2 Tbsp. onion, minced
1/4 cup tomato, chopped
12 oz. firm silken tofu, mashed slightly
2 Tbsp. fresh chives, chopped
1/2 tsp. Cajun seasoning or mild chili powder
1/4 tsp. salt, or to taste
1/4 tsp. black pepper, or to taste
1/2 cup cheese of choice, finely grated
1 Tbsp. nutritional yeast
1 medium clove garlic
1 tsp. milk or water if necessary
1. Melt the butter in a nonstick skillet on medium heat. Add the onion and tomato and sauté for 30 seconds. Add the tofu and sauté for another 30 seconds. Remove from the heat and transfer the mixture to a food processor.
2. Add the remaining ingredients and process until you have a spreadable mixture. If the mixture seems too dry, add a teaspoon of milk or water. If the mixture seems a little wet, add some more grated cheese. Serve on toast or as a spread for salad and burger sandwiches, or use as a dip for your favorite crackers.
