For the Vegetarian with Soul
The BEST Vegan Cheeze
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
- 1 cup silken tofu (the kind in the little box)
- 3 level tablespoons nutritional yeast flakes
- 2 tablespoon natural peanut butter
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 1/2 tablespoon light miso
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 level teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 level teaspoon white pepper powder
- 4 tablespoon salsa
Directions: Place all the ingredients in a food processor fitted with a metal blade and process until very smooth. Chill for at least an hour before serving (CHILLING IT IS IMPORTANT). Preparation time: 5 minutes
Nutritional Yeast Cheese Dip/ or Cheese Sauce
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unbleached flour
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/8 teaspoon dried yellow vegan mustard powder
- 1 cup water
- 1 1/2 tablespoon soy non-hydrogenated vegan margarine or Oilive oil
- Optional (add other spices like curry, paprika and more)
Directions: Mix dry ingredients, add water, wisk till clumps are gone. Put in pot with margarine, and heat on medium till thick. This is a very thick "sauce" as it is best suited for things like alfredo, macaroni and cheese, etc.. It shouldn't get as thick as mashed potatoes, though, so be careful :) You can add more water if you make it too thick, but it's supposed to be pretty thick. Mixing salsa with this for nacho cheese with chips is great; adding onion powder and extra margarine works great to se in a scalloped potato recipe. Extra garlic, margarine and parsley for alfredo. Try scoops of it on vegan pizza ;)
