I often get requests for soy free tofu alternatives, so here's a recipe for red lentil tofu! It's easy to make, budget friendly, and of course, delicious! You can season and cook this tofu however you want, so just imagine the possibilities! I love to air fry it. Let me know your thoughts in the comments section below! Will you try this?

I added 3/4 tsp garlic and 3/4 tsp onion powder. Directions: 1. Rinse red lentils really well and place in a large pyrex container (or other glass bowl) 2. Add 3 cups of boiling water to rinsed lentils and cover. Let sit for 20 minutes. 3. Add mixture to a blender (do not drain off water!) 4. Add your favourite spices/seasonings and blend until smooth 5. Add the mixture to a a large saucepan and heat on medium heat, stirring constantly using a whisk. When it starts to thicken or bubble turn down to medium-low or low heat. 6. Keep stirring for a total of 7-10 minutes until mixture is very thick. 7. Once it is very thick remove from heat and immediately put the mixture directly into 8x8 glass container. Smooth top over with a spatula. 8. Place in the fridge for a couple hours to allow the mixture to cool and set. You can leave it overnight too! Once mixture is cool and set, remove from container and cut into cubes and cook like you would normal tofu! You can add marinade/sauce to the cubes or season with spices, whatever you want. I enjoy marinading or spicing up the cubes and air frying them. You can also stir fry them or bake in the oven. Enjoy!
