Categories     Lunch

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ cup cashews
1 medium carrot, sliced
3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
2 tablespoons tapioca starch
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
⅛ teaspoon turmeric
vegan butter, to taste
8 slices white bread

Steps:

  • In a medium pot, bring 4 cups (960 ml) of water to a boil. Add the cashews and carrot and boil for 10 minutes, or until the carrot is fork tender.
  • Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cashews and carrot to a high-speed blender. Do not discard the cooking water.
  • To the blender, add the nutritional yeast, tapioca starch, lemon juice, salt, garlic powder, turmeric, and 1 cup ( 240 ml) plus 2 tablespoons of reserved cooking water (discard any remaining water). Blend the sauce for 2-3 minutes on high speed, until completely smooth.
  • Pour the "cheese" sauce back into the pot and stir with a spatula over low heat. Clumps should begin to form. Continue stirring for 2-4 minutes, or until the sauce is thickened and stretchy. Remove the pot from the heat and set aside.
  • Butter each slice of bread on 1 side. In a medium nonstick skillet, heat a dollop of vegan butter over medium heat. Once the butter begins to bubble, add a slice of bread, butter side down, and use a spatula to spread cheese sauce on top. Top with another slice of bread, butter side up. Cook for 2-4 minutes, or until the bottom of the bread is golden brown. Flip and cook for 2-4 minutes more, until the other slice of bread is golden brown as well, then remove from pan. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
  • Slice the sandwiches in half and serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!

Provided by Shane Martin

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup of water
1/4 cup of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 cups almond flour
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
2 cloves of garlic
1 tablespoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried dill
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
Salt to taste

Steps:

  • To a high-speed blender or food processor add the water, lemon juice, garlic, and almond flour. Blend until the texture is smooth and creamy. You may have to stop a couple of times to scrape down the sides. You can also add 1 tablespoon of water at a time to help the blending process, but don't add too much or you will get runny cheese.
  • Transfer the mixture to a small mixing bowl, add nutritional yeast and herbs, and stir until everything is well combined. Taste and season with salt as necessary.
  • Spoon the vegan cheese spread into the desired container, make sure it's packed really well, place it in the fridge, and allow the cheese to sit for 1-2 hours if you prefer a firmer spread.
  • Enjoy with veggies, crackers, bagels, or sandwiches.
