Ingredients
1poundsilken tofu(not the vacuum packed kind!)
2tablespoonsfresh lime juice(from about one lime)
1tablespoonof agave nectaror 1 teaspoon sugar
1/4teaspoonsalt
4clovesof garliccrushed
1/4cupolive oil
2cupsloosely packed fresh cilantrowith leaves and stems (you can half the amount if you’re not a cilantro fiend like I am)
Instructions
Remove tofu from packaging and squeeze gently to remove any excess water. Place in a blender or food processor along with the lime juice, agave, and salt. Blend until smooth.
Heat a small pan over medium-low heat, and add garlic and olive oil. Cook gently for three minutes, stirring occasionally. For the love of Zod, do not burn the garlic… you want a nice, blonde-brown color. Add to tofu mixture and blend again. Add cilantro and blend until “smooth and light green with some flecks of dark green.” Don’t forget to scrape down the sides.
Add more salt and lime to taste, then transfer to a bowl, cover, and chill for at least thirty minutes.
