Superbowl Queso!
This is a queso dip recipe I stole from Show Me Vegan (which is, by the way, a really beautiful blog...you should check out the recipes and photos!)
This stuff was goooooood. Probably really unhealthy, since it's made from an entire container of Tofutti, but it was loved by all, including my friend who thinks all of my food is "weird." It doesn't even have that weird Tofutti taste that you might expect. Three of us ate a whole batch during the superbowl, along with some guacamole.
Queso Dip
1 Tablespoon canola oil
3/4 cup diced red bell pepper
1 large clove garlic, minced
8 ounces Tofutti cream cheese
2 scallions, chopped
couple of chopped hot peppers (my addition)
1/2 cup salsa
1/4 teaspoon salt
freshly ground black pepper
handful of cilantro, chopped
In a medium pot, heat oil over medium heat. Saute bell pepper for about 4 minutes, until soft. Add garlic and saute about 30 seconds. Add Tofutti, scallions, salsa, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat and cook gently until the Tofutti is melted. Add cilantro, stir, and serve warm.
Sorry the picture is a bit unappetizing... it was taken in haste, as we were dying to eat it :o)
