Recipe: Green Goddess Dip (using tofu) (blender or food processor)

GREEN GODDESS DIP

1 cup loosely packed sprigs of flat-leaf parsley
1/2 cup chopped green onion (both green and white parts)
1/2 cup water
1 (10 ounce) package silken firm tofu, mashed
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Dash of salt or to taste

In a small saucepan, place the parsley, green onion and water. Cover and bring the water to a boil over medium heat; simmer until the green onion is tender and the parsley is wilted, about 2 minutes. Drain well.

Place the cooked parsley mixture into a food processor or blender along with the tofu, lemon juice, oil, garlic and sugar. Pulse until smooth. Adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes before serving.

This can be prepared up to three days ahead.
