Fresh tomato gnudi

Serves 4

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cooking Time 10 minutes

Ingredients

1 x 349 g extra firm tofu
2 T Woolworths nutritional yeast
1 T lemon juice
½ t lemon zest
120 g flour

For the tomato salad, mix:

2 tomatoes, cut into 8 pieces
350 g Woolworths exotic tomatoes, halved
10 g chives, thinly sliced
12 green olives, chopped
¼ cup olive oil
1⁄3 cup lemon juice
12 capers, roughly chopped
salt, to taste
dairy-free cheddar flavoured cheese, grated, for serving

Method

1. Blend the tofu until creamy. Place in a bowl and stir in the remaining ingredients.

2. Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Drop in tablespoons of mixture and cook for 1 minute only (don’t make them too small as they will overcook). Drain.

3. Divide the salad between 4 bowls and top with the gnudi and grated cheese.

Cook's note: If you don't follow a plant-based diet, grilled lamb chops are the perfect accompaniment here.
