Creamy Tomato Tofu Puree
I was going for a protein rich, very tasty thick sauce and I believe that's exactly what I created.
When you mix it with the rice it's really delicious and a complete meal because of the tofu.
1/2 block silken firm tofu
1 large tomato, chunked
1/2 yellow bell pepper, diced
1/4 yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, sliced
1 tbl nutritional yeast
2 1/2 tsps salt
2 tsps paprika
1 tsp cayenne
2 tsps spicy mustard
1 tbl hot sauce
1 tbl sriracha
3 tbls olive oil
Saute the yellow pepper, onion and garlic in 1 tlb of the olive oil and 1 tsp of the salt.
Add tofu, tomato, cooked pepper mix, mustard, 1 tbl olive oil, hot sauce and srirach to a blender or food processor. Puree until smooth. Depending on your blender you may need to tamp down the chunks a few times during the process in order to a get a smooth puree.
Transfer to a mixing bowl and whisk in remaining ingredients until fully incorporated.
You can eat it right away, but a little rest in the fridge will make it even better.
