Description

Instructions

  1. Make the vegan ranch dressing by combining 4 ounces of tofu, herbs, spices, and lemon juice, and 2 Tbs water in a food processor. Blend until completely smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add more water a tablespoon at a time until the mixture is creamy and similar to that of ranch dressing. Measure out ¼ cup of vegan ranch and set aside.
  2. Prep the tempeh. Cut each block down the center so that you have strips about ⅛” deep. Then make 4 or 5 slices across. Marinate in a light coating of Frank’s Red Hot and set aside.
  3. Thoroughly drain 12 ounces of tofu (¾ of the package). Wrap in 2 sheets of paper towel, put on a plate, and set a heavy plate on top of the block to press out all of the excess water. This will take about 10-15 minutes.
  4. Once drained, crumble or cut the tofu into smaller chunks and add to food processor with ¾ cup water, tapioca flour, lemon juice, garlic powder, and salt, and blend until smooth.
  5. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Pour tofu mixture into a saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly. Once the mixture becomes gooey (~5 minutes), crumble in the marinated tempeh, and stir in the ranch until combined and remove from heat.
  6. Pour dip into a baking dish, place in the oven, and bake until the top of the dip is golden and the edges are bubbly (15-20 minutes).
  7. Remove the dip from the oven, stir, and transfer to a small slow cooker, hot plate, or serving dish. Stir occasionally to maintain the appearance. Serve with pita chips, corn chips, and/or carrots and celery.
