Crock Cheeze

This cheddar-style spread is sharp, tangy and rich. It's reminiscent of the aged spreads found in small, brown pottery crocks in gourmet restaurants and specialty food shops.

½ pound fat-reduced regular tofu (firm), rinsed, patted dry, and crumbled
3 Tablespoons Red Star Vegetarian Support Formula (T6635+) nutritional yeast flakes
2 Tablespoons tahini
2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 ½ Tablespoons light miso
1 teaspoon onion granules
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon garlic granules
¼ teaspoon dry mustard

1. Place all the ingredients in a food processor fitted with a metal blade and process until the mixture is very smooth. Stop the processor occasionally to stir the mixture and scrape the sides of the work bowl.
2. Spoon the mixture into a storage container and chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving. It will keep for about a week in the refrigerator.
