Kalamata Olive Tofu Spread

This recipe started with a loaf of bread. I had a locally baked loaf of rosemary olive bread, and wanted a tofu spread as a base for making fresh vegetable sandwiches. After making the spread, I liked it so much that I thought it would be delicious as part of an appetizer platter as well. You see it here stuffed in cherry tomatoes and waiting to be scooped up with bread slices. The kalamata olive flavor is pronounced but not overpowering, and there's a hint of garlic, of course.
