Bible Food - The Book of Galatians

For some strange reason, occasionally I get a whim to find out what people in the "Biblelands" would have eaten at the time of the writing of a particular piece.  Apart from the references to meat and dairy, much of what the people ate in those days, in that place, sounds like a good fit for a touring vegan.  Today we did a little dip into the Book of Galatians,  a letter (epistle) written by the apostle Paul to the Christian communities in Galatia.   Scholars date Galatians to around AD 48–55. If it was written earlier, it would be one of Paul's first letters, possibly before the Jerusalem Council (Acts 15, AD 49), which addressed the issue of Gentile converts following Jewish customs.   The main theme of the letter is justification by faith rather than adherence to the Mosaic Law.

Simple Tofu Spread


 This tofu spread is very tasty and satisfying in that bulky protein way tofu imparts. It is creamy and substantial. Our son thinks it is vaguely reminiscent of *liverwurst*-- not as salty or as greasy or as troubling to think about though.

Ingredients:

14 oz. Extra Firm tofu, drained

1/2 cup fine chopped red onion 

1/4 cup Tamari or soy sauce

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 cup chopped cilantro 

1/2 cup walnuts

2 teaspoons peanut butter

1. I made this spread in my small food processor, but you can also make it by hand. Start by either chopping the walnuts finely with a knife or in the food processor.

2. Combine all ingredients in the mixing bowl or the bowl of the food processor. Crumble up the tofu into small chunks.

3. If you using a bowl, you may want to also use a potato masher to get the process of a smooth spread started. In the food processor pulse and scrape down until a nice smooth sauce results.

4. If you are doing it by hand, you might actually need to get in there with your hands to squeeze and incorporate the ingredients together into a smooth mix.

5. Put in a container with a lid in the fridge.
