Preparation

Step 1

Blend everything until olive oil into a smooth puree. Taste and adjust tang, salt, spice.
Add the starches and liquid smoke, if using, and blend.
In a pan, add 1/2 cup coconut or almond milk. Whisk in the agar powder and bring to a boil. Cook on low-medium heat for 5 minutes.
Pour the blended mix into the pan. Mix well and continue to cook for 5-6 minutes.
Transfer the mix to a greased container or mold and let sit for a few hours in the refrigerator. (I used 2 tsp of evoo to grease the container. Also brush some on the top of the block so it doesn’t dry out)
Slice and use. Keep refrigerated for upto 5 days.

Notes: for a spreadable cheese, omit the agar. Blend everything and cook for 8 minutes. then let set. Spread on bagels or serve with crackers.
If using Agar flakes, use 3 Tbsp flakes. Mix in milk and cook for 15 minutes before adding blended cheese mixture.
