Tools Used in this Recipe

  • slicing knife
  • lint free towel or paper towels
  • hand blender or blender
  • flexible spatula
  • 1 cup glass jar with tight fitting lid

Ingredients

  • 6 oz organic tofu soft or regular
  • 2–4 garlic cloves peeled, hard stem cut off, germ removed
  • 8 Castelvetrano Olives rinsed and pitted *
  • 4 Tbls fresh lime juice or lemon juice juice of 2 limes or lemons

Instructions

  • Slice the tofu in 4 and place on paper towels or roll up in a lint free towel to remove excess water. Press out as much water as possible.
  • Using a pulsing technique (on, off, on), blend the garlic and olives until they are broken up.
  • Add the tofu and blend until smooth as possible.
  • While blending, add the lime juice slowly to form the emulsion and get smoother.
  • Taste the mixture to see if it needs more of any of the ingredients. If so, add and blend a little more.
  • Put in the jar, that spatula will come in handy here. Date the jar and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Notes

To reduce the salt content from the brined olives, place the rinsed and pitted olives in a jar with a tight fitting lid, add filtered water, and shake. Let soak for about 5 min, then drain the liquid. If you still find them too salty, repeat the process. Drain the water and olives are ready to use.
