Equipment

  • tofu press or a heavy pot

Ingredients 

For the "feta"

  • 400 g firm or extra firm tofu pressed

For the marinade

  • 2 teaspoon salt
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill or mint
  • 1 teaspoon miso paste
  • ¼ teaspoon chilli flakes optional
  • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 2 large garlic cloves crushed or 3-4 smaller ones

Instructions

  • Slice the tofu into slabs and then into cubes. Press the tofu for at least 30 minutes.  (instructions in the post)
  • Whisk the marinade ingredients together in a bowl. I add the garlic last because it gets caught up in the whisk. 
  • Toss the pressed tofu cubes in the marinade and transfer everything to a jar or container. I used a shallow lunch box-style deal so I can easily shake it up and stop the olive oil from solidifying in the refrigerator.

Notes

FAQ's 
How do I store my tofu feta? Store it in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 7 days.
Do I have to use oil? Feta naturally has fat so using oil gives us a sense of that with tofu. Also, it works as a carrier for all those delicious flavours. 
Top Tips
Don't skip out on pressing the tofu. Pressing the tofu gets out a lot of the moisture. Skipping this step means you'll end up with a watered down version of feta. No one wants that.
Allow it to marinate. The longer you leave it to do its thing, the better the flavours will be.
