Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1/4 pound reduced-fat firm tofu

1 teaspoon vegetable oil

1 medium onion -- finely chopped

3/4 cup finely chopped mushrooms

1 cup chopped steamed green beans

1/4 cup chopped walnuts

2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley

1 teaspoon chopped sage

1/4 teaspoon ground allspice

1/4 teaspoon salt

Freshly ground pepper

Parsley sprigs -- optional

 

Place the tofu in a single layer between two small flat plates. Weight the top

with a heavy can. Let stand 30-60 minutes (do not

press for longer than 60 minutes). Pour off and discard the water.

 

Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet, then add the onion. Saute until

softened. Add the mushrooms and saute until wilted. Add

the beans and walnuts and saute until heated through, about 3 minutes.

 

Transfer the mixture to a food processor. Add the parsley, sage, allspice, salt

and pepper; pulse until fairly smooth. Transfer to

a bowl.

 

Coarsely shred the tofu and squeeze to remove any excess moisture. Stir the

tofu into the onion mixture. Refrigerate, covered,

until chilled, at least 2 hours. Garnish with the parsley

sprigs, if desired.

Serving Ideas : This rich, earthy spread is similar to pate and perfect for

pre-dinner nibbles. Tofu gives this spread a smooth

texture; spread it on crackers, toasted French bread, or crispbreads.
