Red Lentil Tofu

Ingredients

¾ cup red lentils

1.5 cups boiling water

1.5 cups room temperature water

½ tsp salt

Method

Add your lentils and boiling water to a blender and let that sit for 10-15 minutes for the lentils to cook slightly.

Blend until smooth, adding salt and any spices of your choice.

Transfer the mixture to a small saucepan along with the room temperature water and cook over medium heat, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens. It should take about 5-7 minutes.

Transfer the mixture into a container of your choice; this will be your mould.

Let that sit in the fridge for 3-4 hours to set. 

Slice your red lentil tofu into cubes, drizzle on some olive oil and spices, and bake or air-fry until crispy.

Note

The red lentil tofu can also be pan fried, but it will not be as crispy as fried soya-tofu.
