    Title: Copycat Toby's Tofu Pate
    Categories: Dips, Pates
    Yield: 2 Cups

    8 oz Extra firm tofu; (a little
    -more than half of the
    -average 14 oz package size)
    1 Rib celery
    2 tb Parsley leaves
    1/4 md White or yellow onion;
    -(sweet onions work really
    -well here)
    1/3 c Mayonnaise
    1 ts Mustard
    1 ts Nutritional yeast
    1 ts Salt; plus more to taste,
    -(see note, below)
    1/4 ts Turmeric
    1 pn Cayenne pepper

    Note: Some folks below have noted that the recipe as made turns out
    too salty, which I can only guess is due to a variation in
    nutritional yeast. If your nutritional yeast is salty or if you're
    unsure, I would suggest making the recipe omitting additional salt
    and then add to taste. With the ingredients I use at home, additional
    salt is definitely necessary.

    Prepare tofu

    Drain the tofu and dry the exterior with a paper towel. Crumble into
    very small pieces and set aside in a small bowl.

    Prepare vegetables and parsley

    Clean and trim the celery rib and chop into a small dice (I do this by
    using the tip of my knife to cut the rib lengthwise into 3 or 4
    pieces, then lining those up and slicing them into small cubes).
    Roughly chop the parsley leaves and put the parsley and celery into a
    medium mixing bowl. Remove the peel from the quarter onion, if
    needed, and use a cheese grater to grate the onion into the bowl. (If
    you don't want to do this, you can finely chop it - the flavor will
    be more subtle, but it will still work.)

    Mix all ingredients

    Add all of the ingredients, including the tofu, to your mixing bowl
    and mix with a spoon or spatula to combine. Use your fingers to break
    up any larger chunks of tofu that remain. Taste and season with salt
    as needed.

    Process half of the spread

    Put half of the mixture in a food processor and process until fairly
    smooth. Add back to the mixing bowl and mix everything together.
    Store in a covered container in the fridge for up to 1 week.

    Note: After a few hours in the fridge, the flavors will meld and it
    will taste more like original Toby's than it does right after making.
    You may need to adjust the salt as the flavors develop.
