Cilantro Cream (for non-cilantro folks as well!)

Yields6 ServingsPrep Time5 minsCook Time30 minsTotal Time35 mins

Ingredients

 8 oz organic tofu (firm)
 ¾ cup cilantro (roughly chopped)
 ½ cup lime juice, freshly squeezed (approximately 4 limes)
 ¼ cup jalapeños, deseeded and destemmed, roughly chopped (optional)
 1 tsp ground cumin
 ¼ tsp salt (optional)

Directions

1

Add all ingredients to a food processor and blend until creamy. Alternatively, you could use an immersion blender, blending until the tofu is creamy and most of the herb is blended.

2

Taste for additional flavors of your choice (more jalapeño for spice, more lime juice for tartness, or more cilantro for an earthy flavor).

3

If you want a thinner consistency, add 1–2 tablespoons of water at a time until you reach your desired consistency.

Chef's Notes

Substitutions
Use soft tofu in place of firm tofu.

Instead of cilantro, use chives, basil, parsley or dill. Start with ½ cup of the herbs and add more as desired.

How to use
Spread on sandwiches and wraps.

Pour on grain and salad bowls.

Use as a vegetable dip.

Add to steamed vegetables.

Top on nachos or tacos.

Storage
Store the cream in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 30 days.
