Ingredients
¾cupsplit red lentils
2 ¼cupwater
Instructions
Rinse the lentils well, then soak them for a minimum of 4 hours to overnight. After soaking, drain the water and rinse the lentils again.
Add the soaked lentils to a blender with 2 cups of fresh water. Blend until the mixture is perfectly smooth.
Transfer the blended mixture to a pot and place it on medium heat. Bring the mixture to a soft boil. Once boiling, stir constantly until a thick and smooth paste is formed.
Transfer the thick paste to a glass container and let it set in the fridge overnight.
Cook the lentil tofu the same way you’d use regular tofu. You can marinate it, air fry it, sauté it, etc.
