Zesty Dijon and Herb Tofu Spread

Ingredients:

* 1 tablespoon olive oil
* 1 small sweet onion, chopped
* 2 cloves garlic, chopped fine
* 1 block firm tofu
* 1 tablespoon light miso paste
* 1 heaping tablespoon Dijon mustard
* 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
* 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (any combination of dill, basil, thyme, marjoram, oregano, cilantro)
* Sea salt and freshly ground pepper

Preparation:
Warm olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions and garlic, stir to coat with oil, and reduce heat to low. Cover the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are tender, about 7 minutes. Let cool.

Place tofu, miso, Dijon, vinegar, and onion mixture in a food processor and blend until creamy. Pulse in herbs and season to taste.

Makes about 2 ½ cups
