Ingredients:

1 (14 ounce) package extra firm tofu, drained and crumbled

1 1/2 tablespoons tahini

1 pinch of freshly ground nutmeg

1/2 tablespoon mellow white miso

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Directions:

1. In a medium bowl, mash all ingredients together with the back of a spoon until well combined.
2. Use as you would dairy ricotta in recipes.
