this is a recipe that i used to make a vegan feta. it's combination between a recipe in
the uncheese cookbook and
skinny bitch in the kitch.
ok, so it's not
feta, but it's not terribly too off in taste...
- 1/2 pack of silken extra firm tofu (about 6oz)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder, or fresh garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
drain and gently squeeze excess water out of tofu. cut into small tofu cubes - the size of feta chunks. put cubed tofu in a bowl. whisk rest of ingredients in a separate bowl and pour on top of tofu. stir gently once or twice to make sure it is evenly coated, and chill for at least 1 hour.
use within a day or two.

Intriguing!
Hmm, Is it possible to make it without tahini and still have an outcome almost the same?
thanks for the recipe, miss v! i have yet to make vegan feta and was wondering how it was done. this is just perfect! hooray!
My tummy doesn't handle cheese very well, so maybe I will try this! Thanks girl!
Actually, I just can't really afford tahini. It's super expensive here... But Miso is alot cheaper, I'll have to try that! Thanks!
Oh, cool blog! I love the layout! And I just got the uncheese cookbook...and I've got skinny bitch. I should try this as a "compromise" between the two.
That looks effing good! I bet it's super tasty over a tangy salad. Mmm.
smiling - you could try to make your own tahini, if sesame seeds are cheap. it's more work, of course... but it might be a solution. ;)
looks like something I will bookmark for a day when I need to make feta - salad weather is almost upon me - I can't wait to make an awesome greek salad.
**haha - my little word verification is rest - i think I need to go do that its been a big day.
Hmmm very interesting. Feta def has that certain tang to it, and with those vinegars, I'm thinking you hit it pretty close. This is like a super protein cheese, good job :)
feta was one of the last things i gave up when i went vegan. i try not to think about it too much, because...sometimes...i might miss it. maybe. but maybe i won't anymore, with this recipe! although, i think i'll use regular firm tofu, because the texture of silken really weird me out when i just...eat it.
Genius. And I hear you on the nuts. My question to you is, did you still eat the sushi although you were full of nuts? That would have been my move.

I bet this would be great with some olives!
I can't wait to make a Greek salad!
Thanks for sharing. This looks super easy.
How does this cook up? I want to may a vegan spanakopita and thought I might try this in it. Is this only for cold uses like salads or could I get away with baking it?
I tried this recipe without the tahini, but used everything else. It was delicious! I can't do dairy anymore, which makes me sad -- I really miss feta! But this is a very acceptable alternative. Good find! :)
