Vegan Cashew 'Parmesan Cheese'
Parmesan Cheese! Made from cashews! And a few other salty & cheesy-tasting ingredients! Wohoo! Cool!
…and to be honest, there’s isn’t much more to say about this.
Tastes amazing over some pasta, avocado toast, lasagna (or every other oven-baked dish), is ready in less then 10 minutes and easier than anything here on the blog so far. (At least as of today, mid-June 2021, don’t @ me if there’ll be even easier recipes in the future hehe).
and here’s the little recipe for this:
Vegan Cashew ‘Parmesan Cheese’
Ingredients (for several portions):
100g raw cashews
1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)*
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
1/2 - 1 tsp salt (or to taste)
pinch of garlic or onion seasoning
Instructions:
Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until you get to a fine and crumbly texture.
Taste test and optionally add more salt or other seasonings of choice. Then slightly roast the mix in a pan over low to medium heat for a few minutes until fragrant. Let it cool down completely.
Transfer the cooled down cashew ‘parmesan cheese’ to an airtight container and store in the fridge.
Well, basically just some salty cashew crumbs but they do taste fancy!
*Notes:
You can skip the sesame seeds but I find that it gives the mix a much deeper flavor. You could also replace them with any other kind of nuts or seeds if you like though. I also made this using gomasio (a mix of roasted sesame seeds and salt) and it tasted delish as well!
