Fab Frugal Friday: Easy! Healthy! Yummy! Sun-Dried Tomato Spread Recipe

This recipe proves my theory that any recipe can be made delicious by adding sun dried tomatoes. Even a tofu recipe!
Ok, ok, we know you’ve always walked by that block of white stuff stashed in the corner of the produce department and thought “I should eat tofu,” but you never knew what to do with the stuff. Well, we here at FFF have a solution: Sun Dried Tomato Spread made with THREE ingredients: 16 ounces extra firm tofu; 1 jar (8 ounce) sun dried tomatoes in oil; and garlic powder. That’s it! (You can, of course add S & P and a little diced parsley to make it look pretty, but those are entirely optional.)
Serve with Crispy Pita Triangles
- Break up that big white block into your processor
Throw everything in with the tofu
The Secret Weapon: Sun Dried Tomatoes
Just one trick: Place the block of tofu between a plate and put a heavy can of something on top and then let the tofu sit for about an hour so that the water can be “pressed” out. Then, all you do is take the ingredients for a spin in your food processor and you’re done!

Yum! And healthy. I bet I could make this for my husband and he wouldn’t know tofu was in it.
How did you know what I was thinking when I walked by the tofu? This sounds like a great way to try it out! I love sun dried tomatoes too!
I could prettymuch eat sun dried tomatoes straight every day and not get tired of them. {and I facebook status’ed this recipe}
