Preparation

Step 1

1) Place all ingredients save the salt/pepper and water in a food processor. Pulse till broken down and roughly ground.

2) With motor running, add water in a thin stream, stopping to scrape the sides of the bowl. Stop when the “cheese” has reached a thick, spreadable, and smooth consistency. The amount of water you need may vary, which is why I say 1/2 to 1 cup; use as much as you need.

3) Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with crackers, as a sandwich spread, or, if you need more ideas, check out my top 10 uses for cashew cheese!
