For the Potatoes:
Baby potatoes: 1 cup (150 g), halved
Garlic: 1 clove, minced
Lemon juice: 2 tbsp (freshly squeezed)
Lemon zest: 1 tsp
Salt: To taste
Black pepper: A pinch
Olive oil (optional): 1 tsp, or skip for oil-free
Water or vegetable broth: 2-3 tbsp
For the Vegan Feta:
Firm tofu or cashew feta: 2 tbsp, crumbled
Apple cider vinegar: 1/2 tsp
Salt: A pinch
1 serving (approximately 1 bowl)
Prepare the Vegan Feta:
If using firm tofu, crumble it into small pieces in a bowl.
Add apple cider vinegar and a pinch of salt. Toss well and let it sit for 5-10 minutes to absorb the flavor. Set aside.
Cook the Potatoes:
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. If using olive oil, add it to the pan; otherwise, add a splash of water or vegetable broth to prevent sticking.
Add the halved baby potatoes, cut side down, and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden.
Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in water or vegetable broth, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Add more liquid if needed to prevent burning.
Add Lemon Flavor:
Once the potatoes are cooked, stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat the potatoes evenly.
Assemble and Serve:
Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish. Top with crumbled vegan feta.
Garnish with additional lemon zest or fresh herbs like parsley if desired. Serve warm.
