Cheese

By Dejar un comentario

This recipe is key to lots of dishes and also as a dip for potatoes or chips; also for the typical Mac&Cheese. The truth is that it is so tasty, overtime I do it it magically disappears. The recipe is very easy and if you have guests they will love it, and it really tastes like real cheese!

The main ingredient is potato, it gives the cheese the smooth and cheesy texture. Carrot and nutritional yeast are other important ingredients of the recipe, the carrot gives the cheese this golden color so we can call it “vegan cheddar” but be careful with carrot, with an small or medium carrot it might be enough, we don´t want an orange mixture.

We can use another vegetable if we don´t have potato or carrot, like cauliflower or pumpkin. Personally I prefer the taste of the potato and the carrot, but you can get substitutes.

This cheese is perfect to serve when it is still hot, we use the vegetables as they are cooked so all the ingredients get mixed while everything is hot. If your cheese gets cold, you can add a little bit of soy milk and heat it while you stir it and get the melted cheese texture back.

This Parmesan cheese with almonds is ideal to spread over our dishes and give them a different flavor and texture. It is very easy to do, all the ingredients are raw. We can keep them in a jar in a kitchen counter for long time and it will be okey for the next time we need to use it, but believe me it is so tasty that you will have to repeat the recipe quite frequently.

As you can see in the picture there are some big pieces of almond, it is because I haven´t got a good blender and I did by hand, if you can do it with a professional blender or a good one, you will get a better and thinner mixture.

The recipe is made in 5 minutes, so it is ideal for pasta and then put it in the oven, it is so easy you can do it anytime and keep it to use it again and again.

If you do your vegan cheese at home it is cheaper than buying them at the shop, and also sometimes is difficult to find cheese in all stores or supermarkets, maybe where you live is even harder to find and the only way to get them is through the internet, so preparing your cheese at home is the best option.

If you don´t find almonds, you can do it with cashews or other nuts because the cheesy taste is given by the yeast. Try with clean nuts, raw and with neutral flavor.
