Cashew Jack Cheese

Author: Heather Leno
Servings: 1 3/4 cups Prep Time: 5 minutes
Ingredients:

1 cup water

1 cup raw rinsed cashews

2 tbsp dried onion flakes

1 tbsp nutritional food yeast flakes

1/2 teas salt

1/4 teas garlic granules or powder

1/8 teas celery salt

2 tbsp lemon juice

 
Instructions:
  1. Blend in blender until nuts are completely smooth and creamy.
  2. Add lemon and blend briefly. It is ready to use.  Will thicken as it stands.

 
Notes:

I like to freeze it in large and small containers so I can have the convenience of grabbing just what I need.  You will find it being used in dishes like the zucchini fritters and bean enchiladas.

For a yellow cheese:

  • Omit the cup of water and replace by putting 1/2 cup chopped sweet red pepper in your blender and adding enough water to make one cup.
  • Increase the yeast flakes to 2 tablespoons.
  • All other ingredients remain the same.
  • Proceed with the recipe.
