Whipped Garlic and Herb Tofu with Roasted Cherry Tomatoes

Theres no need to miss out if you want to eat more plant based food and this recipe proves just that. Using tofu as the base of this dish we've used antioxidant packed garlic along with fresh herbs to really elevate the flavour. This dish really tastes like holiday and we think you'll love the creaminess of the dip paired with sweet, juicy, roasted tomatoes. We like serving this as part of a spread alongside roasted chickpeas or a seeded sourdough but the options are endless!

1

Gather your ingredients and preheat the oven to 200°C or 180°C fan.

In the meantime, add tofu, yoghurt, chives, parsley, water, garlic and lemon juice and zest to a high speed blender with the remaining oil and blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
