Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (14 oz) package extra-firm tofu (Regular firm can also be used.)
½ to ⅔ cup plain, unsweetened vegan yogurt (See Notes.)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
¾ to 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

  • No need to press the tofu, but we do want to remove some of the water. Remove the block of tofu from the package, and wrap a tea towel or paper towels around it. Holding the tofu over the sink lightly squeeze to remove some of the water. Place the tofu in a bowl with the other ingredients, starting with the lesser amount of yogurt and salt.
  • Use a fork to mash the tofu and incorporate it with the yogurt and seasonings. Mash until the "curds" are as small as you like.
  • Taste for seasoning, adding more yogurt, garlic, and salt, if desired. Enjoy your healthy vegan cottage cheese right away, or refrigerate it for an hour or more to allow the flavors to mingle.

Tofu Cottage Cheese (Vegan) image

Friends of mine make gave me this recipe and now I am so excited to try it! They use it mostly to make vegan lasagna, so we want to try it in place of the crumbled tofu in our recipe Recipe #238046 to see how it tastes. From the cookbook, The Best of Silver Hills Delicious Vegetarian Cuisine. The recipe says its great served on baked potatoes, in lasagna, or with rye bread. Cooking time doesn't include time to chill.
