cheese subs

[Guest guest]

I second the advice to try to forget about ever having anything that tastes

just like or even close to cheese ever again. I was a big cheese fiend when

I was lacto-ovo, but after two years of doing without, just the thought of

it repulses me. I do make " cheezy " sauces with nutritional yeast though,

and me and my 2 year old love them. Nutritional yeaast will grow on you, I

was not a big fan at first, but now I use it in everything. I also make an

uncheeze that is sliceable and sorta grateable if you are very delicate

about it(but does not really melt of course, that's only done by caesin)

that I use on pizza, quesadillas, enchiladas, grilled uncheese sandwiches,

and pasta. It is from <Vegan Vittles>, which is a fabulous cook book by

Joanne Stepaniak that IMO should be required ownership for every vegan

 

Classic White Uncheese

1/4 pound regular tofu (firm)

3 tbl nutritional yeast flakes

2-3 tbl tahini

2 tbl fresh lemon juice

1 1/2 tbl light miso (don't try to make it without this, it is a key

ingredient that gives it an aged flavor)

1 tsp onion granules/powder

3/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp garlic granules/powder

 

3/4 c water

3 tbl agar flakes (yes its expensive, but well worth it, this is what firms

the mixture and enables you to slice and grate it)

 

1. Oil 1 1/4 cup storage container and set it aside

2. Place tofu, yeast flakes, tahini, lemon juice, miso, onion granules,

salt, and garlic granules is a blender or food processor. Set aside,

3. Place water and agar flakes in a 1-quart saucepan. Bring to a boil, then

reduce heat to medium high, and simmer, stirring frequently, until the agar

is dissolved, about 5 minutes.

4. Pour mixture into blender or food processor containing other

ingredients. Process until mixture is completely smooth. You will need to

work quickly before the agar begins to set, but it is important to process

the mixture very thoroughly. Stop frequently to scape sides.

5. Pour mixture into prepared container. Let uncheese chill for several

hours before serving. Will keep for about 10 days in refridgerator.

The Tofutti brand does melt, and does not have caesin in it. But, it does have a lot of fat which is probably what does it... If you want to melt and don't mind it being oily then that's okay, but if you want the cheese as is, then I'd go with the Vegan Slices. I know others have stated that they don't like them, but personally, I find them to be nice. Of course it doesn't taste like cow's cheese, as I am sure nothing else would exactly. I think it's just a matter of getting used to the taste. You can try it and see if you like it.

BTW, I made chesse toast with the Tofutti kind, and gave it to my non-vegan mother, and she even liked it. :?)

I tried the Tofutti cheese and thought that it was some of the grossest stuff that I have ever tasted! I was excited about trying it because I love the Tofutti sour cream and cream cheese, but alas, I was extremely disgusted.

What's caesin? Is that some additive-type ingredient they put in real cheese to make it melt?

Casein is a protein found in dairy products, also found in goats milk (I believe most if not all mammal's milk and milk products) something I'm allergic to
