METHOD
Prep. Place a paper towel or kitchen towel on a plate and put the tofu on top. Fold the towel back over the top of the tofu and then weigh down lightly with a second plate. Leave for 5 minutes.
Blend. Take the drained tofu and place it in a food processor along with the 3 tablespoons of nutritional yeast, choice of lemon or lime juice and the oat milk. On a low speed, blend the contents until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency. Add an extra 2 teaspoons of milk if it feels too dense.
Notes from Sam: You may need a double batch to cover your moussaka entirely.

If you can't buy a locally grown fruit or vegetable, it's better to buy such produce when it is in season in the country it's imported from. So for example, if you're buying lemons or limes from Mexico, it is good to know that their peak growing season typically lasts from March til August.
