American Cheese

By pattie_d

Note: Arrow root would make a pourable thick sauce. This recipe can be frozen and grated.

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups boiling water
• 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1/3 cup agar flakes or arrow root
• 1 cup raw cashews
• 4 oz jar pimientos (1/2 cup)
• 3 tbsp food yeast flakes
• 2 tsp onion powder
• 2 tsp Celtic sea salt
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder

Preparation

Step 1

Dissolve agar in boiling water. Process cashews (or almonds) with water and agar in a blender until very smooth. Add remaining ingredients and continue blending until very smooth. Pour into a container and refrigerate. This can be sliced when firm. Can also be used for pizza cheese as it will melt in oven.
