Directions

optional: green or black olives, other herbs, radishes, sweet red pepper, ground black pepper, pickles, etc.

Wash & dry parsley and/or dill, and chop finely in food processor.
-
Cut veggies into chunks small enough to fit in food processor and process until well-chopped (if you want it chunkier, stop earlier).
-
Crumble pressed tofu into processor --- as much as will fit, leaving some room at top for expansion --- and
-
add mustard, soy sauce, and enough mayo to moisten.
-
Pulse processor several times to mix, then process until smooth.
-
If too dry, add more mayo or, for less fat, a liquid like orange/lemon juice.
-
Taste and add more of whatever you think necessary (this can be really bland without amendments).

Try to cut slices same depth, so pressure will be distributed evenly across them.
-
Stack (from bottom): newspapers, 1-2 layers of paper towel, tofu slices (lay slices side by side, compact as possible), another
-
layer of paper towel, a cutting board, and weights (I use jars of beans, CAREFULLY distributed across the board).
-
Be careful here to balance jars, etc., I broke at least one unique ceramic canister this way!

Leave for a few hrs (1/2 hr.

minimum).
