Cashew Cheese 2

By á-30923

You can make it in a loaf pan with Agar Agar, so you can slice it for sandwiches or it crumble on rice and beans. It's also great as a Cheese Sauce or Cheese Dip too, if you eliminate the Agar Agar.

Ingredients

• o 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast flakes
• o 1 teaspoon onion powder
• o 1 cup water
• o 1 (4 ounce) jars pimientos
• o 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
• o 1 cup raw cashews
• o 1 teaspoon salt
• o 1/2 cup canola oil
• o 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
• o 1/3 cup lemon juice
• o 4 tablespoons agar-agar
• o 1 cup cold water

Preparation

Step 1

1. To sterilize your Cashew Nuts: Spread your nuts out on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 10 minutes and then cool completely before using them.
2. Whiz first 7 ingredients in blender or food processor until nuts are liquefied.
3. SLOWLY drizzle in oils to thicken and then add lemon juice after oils are incorporated.
4. Mix Agar Agar in 1 Cup Cold water. Cook in separate sauce pan until clear (about 10 min).
5. With a spoon stir cooked (warm) Agar Agar into cheese mixture. Immediately pour into loaf pan lined with plastic wrap and fold plastic wrap ends and sides over top.
6. Refrigerate until set and slice as needed.
7. To use as a spread or dip, do not add Agar Agar.
8. When the loaf version is set, my mom slices into ½ sections. She puts them side to side with clear wrap in between and freezes then for individual later use.
