published......Thank you!! Rose

 

Shared by Linda on the Earth Save Discussion list. She said the

recipe comes from the " Best Gormet Recipes from

the chiefs of FIVE LOAVES Deli & Bakery " by Neva Brackett.

 

 

SLICEABLE CASHEW CHEESE

 

Hint: This makes a white cheese resembling jack cheese. If you want

half

of it to resemble American cheese in color, pour half of it into a 1

pint mold and blend 1/4 cup pimentos and 1 tsp. paprika into the

remainder. This can be frozen, so you might want to make a double

recipe

and keep it handy for future use. Frozen cashew cheese shreds very

nicely if you do it while still frozen, and it makes a great toping

for

pizza. To thaw, set it out at room temp. for an hour. Don't try to

thaw

it in the microwave - it will melt and not be sliceable. Prep time 15

min. Chilling time: 4 hours or overnight.

 

2 cups cashew nuts

3/8 cup Emes Kosher gel

1 1/2 cups boiling water

2 Tbls. lemon juice

2 Tbls. yeast flakes

1 Tbls. salt

1 tsp. onion powder

1/2 tsp. garlic powder

1 cup cold water

 

1. Place all ingredients in the blender except the 1 cup cold water.

Blend for 1 - 2 minutes until very smooth. (place a towel over lid -

hot

liquids tend to splash out)

2. Add 1 cup cold water, blend briefly, and pour into containers of

your

choice to chill. Slice when firm.

 

Makes 4 cups.
