Breakfast Sunday 18 February - Millennium Tofu Spread & Celery

Millennium Tofu Spread
3 cloves garlic
1 large onion (about 180g)

1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon dried sage leaves
1 teaspoon dried marjoram leaves
4 fluid ounces vegetable stock
4 fluid ounces dry sherry
2 ounces white miso paste

small handful fresh basil leaves
1 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper

250g plain tofu

In a non-stick saute pan or skillet, cook the onions, garlic, and sherry over medium heat until the onions just start to soften, about five minutes. Add the herbs (except basil) and vegetable stock. Cover and cook until the liquid evaporates and the onion and garlic are very soft and light brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.

Crumble the tofu into food processor bowl. Add the miso and the onion mixture and fresh basil and blend well until smooth. Add the salt & pepper to taste.

Serve at room temperature or chilled. Makes 4 servings.

This is a slight adaptation of a recipe I found in several places on the web - it is pretty tasty!

I have been having it as an after gym snack. Anyway, I had a portion for breakfast, along with some celery ribs, a couple Ryvita and some blueberries.
