Our mission
is to substitute stuff we love. And my weakness
is cheese…cheddar, American, Jack, mozzarella, brie, etc. You name it, I’ll eat
it! But for health reasons, we decided
to rid ourselves of cheese. I may have shed a tear that day.
So off to
Google we went! We discovered that
vegans use raw cashews to make “cheese.” We looked at many different recipes,
and even tried it at our favorite farmer’s market so we know what to expect
when it comes to taste and texture. Wow! It was delicious and motivated us to dive in
and make it. It’s almost the best thing
since sliced bread.
1 cup raw
cashews (soak for at least 2 hours)
½ cup
filtered water1-2 cloves minced garlic
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
Pure sea salt and pepper to taste
Juice of half a lemon
Drain the
cashews. Place all ingredients in a food
processor and process for at least 2 minutes, depending on your desired
texture. Our poor mini food processor
isn’t the strongest as it kept violently shaking and needed more time.
Have fun exploring the ingredients to your taste – enjoy!
