Senegalese Inspired Plant-Based Cottage Toast with Sunkist® Lemon
By Afia Amoako
Directions
- Start with the caramelized onions.
a. Slice the onion into thin strips and place in a pot at medium heat with the oil and minced garlic clove.
b. Once the onion starts to soften, reduce the heat a little to medium-low and let the onions cook for 20 minutes. Check on the onions periodically so it doesn’t burn. - As the caramelized onions are cooking, finely chop the parsley, garlic, ginger, and green onions.
- Place the parsley and green onions in a bowl with the avocado and mash well. Add in the rest of the avocado spread ingredients and set aside.
- By the time you are done with the avocado spread, the caramelized onions should be nice and brown. Mix in the juice of a Sunkist® lemon, mustard and maple syrup and let it cook for 2 more minutes.
- For the cottage cheese, split half a block of medium firm tofu in two and set one half aside and place the other half in a blender with the rest of the plant-based cottage cheese ingredients and blend till smooth.
- For the tofu set aside, crumble with a fork then mix in the blended tofu mixture. This gives a cottage cheese look.
- Assemble your toast: first start with the avocado spread, then the cottage cheese, then the caramelized onion and finish with a fresh crack of black pepper and zest from a Sunkist® lemon.
