Qurator's: Hive Top Chef! | Tofu | Green pea tofu
Greetings dear friends, welcome to my blog. Today I am once again joining the weekly contest Qurator's: Hive Top Chef! | Tofuito. This week's recipe is tofu. It's not easy to find here in my city, so if I want to eat it, I have to make it myself. You can use grains for this, which is why I decided to use green peas to enjoy a healthy, vegan, and delicious meal. This recipe calls for nutritional yeast, not the conventional kind, and the former is difficult to find, which is why I couldn't use it.
I made this pea tofu my own way, unlike the original recipe which is soy-based. After soaking the peas for 48 hours, I added onion, garlic, cumin, dried oregano, and salt. I cooked it over low heat, which is typical of the recipe, and ended up with a consistent, smooth, and above all delicious tofu.
Ingredients
- 1 cup of peas, soaked for 48 hours
- 33 grams of onion
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1/2 cup of water
- 1 teaspoon of cumin
- 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
- Salt to taste
Preparation
1.- Wash the peas that have been soaked for 48 hours and pour them into the blende.
2.- Peel the onion, wash it, and chop it into pieces. Peel the garlic cloves as well. Add everything to the blender along with the peas.
3.-. Gradually add the water and blend little by little until you obtain a smooth mixture.
4.-. Add salt to taste, cumin, and dried oregano to the blended pea mixture. Blend again and pour the mixture into a pot. Adjust the salt to taste.
5.-. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the liquid evaporates and the mixture thickens.
6.-. Place a bag of rice packaging in a rectangular mold (you can use wax paper or simply grease the mold with olive or soybean oil), pour in the mixture, and spread it out with a spoon.
7.-. Let the tofu cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for about 7 hours. After that time, remove from the mold and cut into cubes.
We only heat up the portions we need and then we can eat it or brown it a little in a pan.
I hope you liked it, this has been my participation in Hive Top Chef competition. See you another time.

I love the look of your recipe, and I am new to eating tofu, which I have been buying at the supermarket. Now I can make it myself. Thanks so much
I never see such a green tofu what a creative idea 😍😍😍😍
This recipe is very well known. You can use beans such as chickpeas, but peas are one of the favorites. This is a good option when it is difficult to find original tofu, which is made from soy milk. Best regards.
Asi nos toca amiga, hacer nuestro propio tofu, este que has preparado es una estupenda receta, yo he probado con lentejas, creo que ahora probaré este 👌
Saludos!
Así es bella, no nos quedamos sin probarlo. Anímate, con arvejas queda delicioso. Saludos.
