I often get requests for soy free tofu alternatives, so here's a recipe for red lentil tofu! It's easy to make, budget friendly, and of course, delicious!
You can season and cook this tofu however you want, so just imagine the possibilities! I love to air fry it.
Let me know your thoughts in the comments section below! Will you try this? It's definitely worth giving it a go.

Red lentil 'tofu' (Makes 2-4 servings, 45g Protein per batch)
Ingredients:
1 cup dried red lentils
3 cups boiling water
3/4 tsp salt
optional: add any spice flavourings you like! I added 3/4 tsp garlic and 3/4 tsp onion powder.
Directions:
1. Rinse red lentils really well and place in a large pyrex container (or other glass bowl)
2. Add 3 cups of boiling water to rinsed lentils and cover. Let sit for 20 minutes.
3. Add mixture to a blender (do not drain off water!)
4. Add your favourite spices/seasonings and blend until smooth
5. Add the mixture to a a large saucepan and heat on medium heat, stirring constantly using a whisk. When it starts to thicken or bubble turn down to medium-low or low heat.
6. Keep stirring for a total of 7-10 minutes until mixture is very thick.
7. Once it is very thick remove from heat and immediately put the mixture directly into 8x8 glass container. Smooth top over with a spatula.
8. Place in the fridge for a couple hours to allow the mixture to cool and set. You can leave it overnight too! Once mixture is cool and set, remove from container and cut into cubes and cook like you would normal tofu! You can add marinade/sauce to the cubes or season with spices, whatever you want. I enjoy marinading or spicing up the cubes and air frying them. You can also stir fry them or bake in the oven. Enjoy!

I do something similar. I soak the red lentils, blend them like you did (although with less water) add baking powder and soda, black salt, turmeric, pepper and chopped veggies (bok choy, red pepper, onions etc). Pour in silicone muffin pan and bake. They are very dense. When I want to eat them I cut in half and pop them into the toaster! Eat ‘em right out of the toaster or put between toasted English muffin. I freeze them too. Makes for quick breakfast!

In Bengali culture, making "daler bori" with all kinds of pulses is a common practice. Bori is sun dried pulses paste mixed with salt/ spices and sometimes winter gourd and can be preserved for months. It can be lightly fried, and put into the gravy of any curry. It's fluffier than tofu and should taste much better.

I made this and it's great! Also discovered it has the same consistency as potato, so I made red lentil fries! Just cut in strips shortways first, then down the middle longways. Afterwards, take stacks of 4 and cut each in half. Pre-salt, then air fry for 20-30 minutes and salt and shuffle midway. Excellent recipe! Same process applies to hashbrowns and anything else potato. This is amazing.

Wow Derek! At our house we have made a couple of batches now, and this has turned out to be a fabulous substitute. The cooking part is amazing to watch it thicken! Thanks for sharing this with us and everyone online. LOL, I use the SAME Pyrex jug ALL THE TIME. 🤣 Can't wait to try some flavours. Best wishes from Australia.
