Home cooks who are not familiar with tofu's ability to wear many hats will enjoy this recipe as a spread on bread, toast, tortillas, or crackers as well as a filling for a hearty sandwich. There's a little punch to this recipe. For some it might be too spicy and for others, not spicy enough. Simply adjust the amounts of Tabasco sauce and green chiles to your own palate.


UP-IN-SMOKE TOFU SPREAD

1 lb. (450 g) extra firm tofu, drained and rinsed (no need to press tofu)
1 1/4 t. salt
1/4 t. ground black pepper
1 T. + 1 t. lemon juice
6 dashes Tabasco sauce
1 t. Wright's natural hickory seasoning (a liquid smoke flavoring)
1/2 C.(120 ml) canned diced green chiles

    Combine all ingredients in the work bowl of a food processor and process until thoroughly blended. Refrigerate until ready to use. Keeps for 1 week. Makes about 3 cups (720 ml).
