Cultured nut "cheese"
I am in love.
I did a two week 100% raw feast, and am now maintaining at least 80% raw daily. I found a recipe for raw cultured cashew "cheese" and it is delicious! I use it as a spread of veggie wraps and sandwiches, and as a dip for seed crackers and veggies. Yum! The base recipe I use is (you can double or triple the recipe): 1 cup cashews, soaked overnight 2 probiotic capsuls, just the powder (or equivalent) 1/4 to 1/3 cup water (or rejuvelac) Blend everything together until smooth. Sometimes I add a bit more watee but my blender isn't that great. Wrap in cheese cloth and allow to hang/drain/culture for 8-12 hours. Then you can use the basic cheese to make other flavors. My favorite is a garlic herb one, and to every a cup of culture ccashew mixture I add approximately: 1 teaspoon nutritional yeast 1 teaspoon fresh herbs (basil, thyme, oregeno) 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons minced garlic 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

Re: Cultured nut "cheese"
How thick is this? I'm picturing something similar to herbed cream cheese.
Awhile ago I was looking for something to stuff mini sweet peppers with & this sounds perfect.

Re: Cultured nut "cheese"
Yes, it has that consistency, definitely spreadable, but a bit more grainy that cream cheese, like thicker hummus (though you could probably get it smoother if you have a good blender).
