Ingredients

Ingredients for vegan Greek "tyrokafteri" (spicy cheesy dip)

  • 200  g firm tofu
  • 2 chili peppers or anaheim
  • ½ clove garlic
  • 3 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp almond milk or other plant based milk
  • 2 tsp sweet chilli flakes or spicy
  • 1 Tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1 pinch dried ground cayenne pepper optionally
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Remove the seeds from the peppers. Press the tofu between your palms to get out most of the liquids and cut it in half. Put one piece of tofu together with all the other ingredients (except for one pepper and 1 tsp of chili flakes) and beat well in a food processor or blender. Add the remaining half of the tofu and beat very lightly, so that our vegan "tyrokafteri" has some texture and does not come out completely creamy.
  • Put the content of the multi (or blender) in a bowl. Add the pepper (int thin slices) and 1 tsp. chili flakes and stir. Our vegan Greek "tyrokafteri" (spicy cheesy dip) is ready!
  • You can serve it immediately, but ideally we suggest to leave it for 5 minutes so the flavors will mix nicely.

Serving

  • You can can sprinkle it with olive oil, chili flakes and thin slices of pepper (chili or anaheim).
  • Serve as an appetizer or dip with bread, breadsticks, rusks, pita or fried bread.

Notes

  1. If you want it more spicy, you can add to your vegan "tyrokafteri" more chili peppers, cayenne pepper or spicy chili flakes.
  2. To get richer flavor and colorful, you can use one red and one green chili pepper. Blend half of each and add the rest to our hot cheese in thin slices. Keep a few slices to decorate it :).
  3. For an interesting variation you can add two sun-dried tomatoes. It will not taste exactly like vegan "tyrokafteri" but it will be a delicious dip.
