  • Organic Tofu - 1 block approximately 14 ounces, pressed
  • Fresh Herbs - 1 cup combination of basil, parsley, and chives, finely chopped
  • Garlic Cloves - 3 cloves minced
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil - 1/4 cup

  • Salt - 1/2 teaspoon adjust to taste

Instructions
 

Step 1: Preparing The Tofu

  • Begin by pressing the organic tofu to eliminate excess moisture, ensuring a rich and creamy consistency in the final pate. This step is crucial in achieving the desired texture that will tantalize your taste buds.

Step 2: Herb Infusion

  • Combine a generous handful of fresh basil, parsley, and chives in a food processor. The aromatic blend of herbs introduces a harmonious complexity to Toby's Tofu Pate. Pulse until finely chopped, releasing their essential oils for an unparalleled burst of flavor.

Step 3: Garlic Magic

  • Peel and mince several garlic cloves, infusing the pate with a bold, savory essence. The garlic acts as a flavor catalyst, intertwining seamlessly with the herbal symphony.

Step 4: Olive Oil Elegance

  • Pour a stream of extra virgin olive oil into the food processor, creating a luscious amalgamation of herbs, garlic, and tofu. The olive oil enhances the texture and imparts a sophisticated richness to Toby's Tofu Pate.

Step 5: Zesty Elevation

  • Grate fresh lemon zest into the mixture, providing a citrusy lift that invigorates the palate. The subtle zestiness serves as a counterpoint to the creamy tofu, resulting in a well-balanced, delightful fusion.

Step 6: Seasoning Mastery

  • Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt and a dash of freshly ground black pepper, ensuring that each spoonful of Toby's Tofu Pate dances on the taste buds with a symphony of flavors. Adjust the seasoning to your liking, mastering the art of balance.
