Creamy plant-based cheese with cashew nuts

in food •  6 years ago 

INGREDIENTS

3/4 cups raw cashew nuts
1 clove garlic, chopped
juice of 1/2 lemon
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
1 teaspoon white miso
8 teaspoons water
1 teaspoon food yeast
1/4 teaspoon flower of salt

PREPARATION

  1. In a bowl, put the cashews and cover with water. Soak for 4 hours or overnight.

  2. In food processor or blender, puree drained cashews, garlic, lemon juice, cider vinegar, miso, water, baking powder and flower of salt until smooth (add a little water if necessary). Serve on bread.

What's that? What's that?
Food (or nutritional) yeast is an inactive yeast of microscopic fungi. It is often added to vegan preparations, such as veggie pâté or vegetable cheese, because it gives a lot of taste (the famous fifth umami flavor). It can be found in the natural food section of supermarkets (like the Red Star brand).

A good trick
To shape the cheese, squeeze the mixture into an oiled bowl or container and refrigerate for 2 hours.
