Ingredients

  • 14 ounces extra-firm tofu pressed
  • 1/2 cup refined coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons super agar powder
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions

  • In a food processor, combine tofu, coconut oil, water, agar powder, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, basil, vinegar, and oregano. Process until smooth and well combined.
  • Transfer the mixture to a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a gentle simmer, cooking and stirring frequently for about 2 minutes. The mixture will begin to thicken slightly.
  • Pour the hot mixture into a medium-sized glass bowl or mold. Let it sit at room temperature until completely cooled. Once cooled, transfer to the refrigerator until fully set and firm, at least 4 hours, or until fully set and firm enough to crumble or slice. For best texture, let it chill overnight.
