Ingredients

Makes 24 Servings


  • small onion, quartered (1)
  • garlic (4 cloves)
  • frozen chopped spinach, thawed (1 10-oz (283-g) package)
  • firm, low-fat silken tofu (12 oz)
  • lemon juice (​​​​​​​1 tbsp (15 mL))

  • ground cayenne pepper (1/8 tsp (0.6 mL))

  2. Wrap the onion and garlic in aluminum foil. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until soft.
