Servings:
Makes about 2 cups
Prep time: 4 hours
Blend time: 30 secs
Ingredients:
1 lb. raw cashews, soaked in water for 4 hours and drained
4 ounces of water
The juice of two lemons (approximately 4 ounces), separated
4 ounces of nutritional yeast
2 cloves of garlic
Salt to taste
Fresh chopped parsley to taste
Step 1:
Add the cashews, yeast, garlic, 2 ounces of water, and 2 ounces of lemon juice to a food processor.
Step 2:
Process until blended. Taste and season with salt and additional lemon juice. You can now add more garlic if you like, and add additional water and pulse to attain the consistency you like. The more liquid you add, the creamier it will be.
Step 3:
Pour the “cheese” into a bowl and fold in chopped parsley, and serve.
