Tofu pȃté

Is it egg salad? NO. Is it pȃté? I mean yes, sort of … but not in the traditional sense because this is made with tofu. WAIT. Don’t leave … give it a second. Because this is really, REALLY, good.

Years ago I served this tofu pȃté as an appetizer and one gentleman almost lost his mind because he swore it was, “… the best egg salad …” he had ever had. LOL. I didn’t tell him. I mean why would I? Yes, yes, eventually, but not that night. And so he ate. And he raved. And I swooned.

Honestly, this is a staple to serve with crackers as a snack, or on a bagel or toast for breakfast. It’s loaded with good protein and the taste is divine. Easy peasy … here’s how to make it.

Tofu pȃté

TOTAL TIME: 15 minutes

• 8 oz block firm tofu
• 1-2 celery stalks, chopped (I use 2 because I like it crunchy)
• 2 Tbs parsley, chopped
• 4 Tbs sweet onion, finely chopped
• 1/3 cup mayo, preferably Veganise
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp nutritional yeast
• 1 tsp salt, preferably sea salt
• 1/4 tsp tumeric

Put everything in a Cuisinart or blender and pulse. You don’t want to over blend, it should have some texture (see photo for consistency). And that’s all there is.

DISCLAIMER: My recipes are just that, mine. Some are modified versions of dishes we’ve had elsewhere or old-favorites that contained animal proteins that we replaced with plant-based options, while others are a concentrated effort of trial and error. But all are intended to be altered by you and made to suit your tastes. So if you want more garlic or none at all, go for it.
