I love experimenting with making vegan cheeses and spreads and this one is so easy and delicious. It’s ideal as a sandwich or wrap condiment, or a dip for crackers and veggies (particularly, veggie crackers)! I also think it’d be great on a toasted bagel, English muffin, or toast.
INGREDIENTS:
14-oz tofu, drained, pressed, and cubed
2/3 C nutritional yeast flakes
3 Tbs yellow or red miso (I used yellow)
3 Tbs tahini
1 Tbs lemon juice
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/4 C port wine
Salt, to taste
DIRECTIONS:
Add everything into the food processor and blend until smooth and creamy. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Makes about 2-1/2 cups. Enjoy!

Worcestershire Sauce contains Anchovies !! they are not Vegan !!
That’s true for some, but there are lots of brands that contain no animal or fish products. Wizards brand makes a vegan version. 🙂
Thank you I did not realise that – I will look out for the Wizard Brand because I sure do miss Worcestshire sauce 🙂
You can also make your own. I’ve never attempted it, but in Lauren Ulm’s cookbook, Vegan Yum Yum, she lists a recipe–I’ll have to dig it up.
I couldn’t find the Wizard’s brand in my local Whole Foods so I bought “Annie’s Naturals” organic version which is totally vegan. I don’t know how it compares with Wizard’s, which I’ve never tasted, but I like Annie’s just fine.
Fast, easy and very tasty, great recipe to use as alternative to other dips. Really like the use of tahini and port wine in your recipe: has to give this spread a great taste! Thank you for sharing.
Looks delicious – could you also do this with cashews instead of tofu?
Sure, in fact, I debated on whether or not to use cashews. I’ll bet it’d be really good!
