1 lb. firm, water packed tofu
3 T. lemon juice
1/2 t. basil
1 t. (scant) salt
1 1/2 T. onion powder
3 T. nutritional yeast flakes
1 T. olive oil

Drain tofu, if needed, for 15 - 30 minutes so you have a fairly dry tofu. Place all ingredients in a food processor and process to a creamy spread. This is your basic spread, if desired stir in your choice of one of the following ingredients:
1/2 can green ripe olives
2-3 cloves roasted garlic
2 T. chopped green onions & 1 clove garlic (saute briefly in a little olive oil)
1/2 c. chopped black olives
1 - 2 t. dill
2 T. dried onion + 1 T. Bragg Liquid Aminos
1/4 c. chopped dried tomatoes, stir in
2 oz. chopped pimiento
2 T. fire roasted tomatoes, well drained
1 (10oz.) package chopped frozen spinach (thawed, drained & squeezed dry)

This is a very tasty spread that can also be used as a vegetable dip or as a filling in veggie wraps. A 2 T. serving has only 50 calories and 3 grams of fat. Enjoy!

I received an email today about the LFH Chicken-style seasoning recipe in Vegan Homestyle, asking if the McKay’s chicken-style seasoning could be substituted.  It really cannot.  It has way too much salt, not to mention is contains lactose, mace, and other objectionable ingredients.

You will find that the mellow flavor of the LFH Chicken-style seasoning can be used for many purposes including the seasoning of tofu, soups, sauces, beans, etc.  If you mix up a double batch, put it in a jar with a tight fitting lid, it can stay in the cabinet, like many seasonings, almost indefinitely.  You will use it up before it ever would need to be discarded.

The LFH Chicken-style seasoning can be purchased from the Emerald Valley Wellness clinic in 8 oz. or 16 oz. bags.  Just send us an email or give us a call 866-279-2852 and we would be glad to send you some.
