Ingredients

‘Cheeze’
  • 300 g cashews soaked for 4 hours
  • 400 g water
  • 3 tbsp/20g corn starch or tapioca starch
  • 1 tsp garlic powder/ 1 clove garlic
  • 3 tbsp/25 g nutritional yeast
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp white miso optional
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
For the sandwich
  • 4 slices of sourdough bread or bread of your choice
  • handful of mushrooms
  • sauerkraut optional

Instructions

  • 1. Strain the cashews, discarding the soaking water.
  • 2. Blend all ingredients in a high-speed blender until smooth.
  • 3. Transfer the liquid into a pot or a pan and cook on medium heat, stirring frequently to avoid burning. After 4-5 minutes the mix should become very stringy and will begin to look like cheese. 
  • 4. Take off the heat and serve directly into or onto your favorite sandwich. Alternatively, you can let it cool down a bit, make balls with a spoon and place into ice-cold water – this will create more of a mozzarella effect. 
  • 5. Serve with pan-roasted mushrooms for the meaty texture, sauerkraut for the acidic freshness that cuts through the richness of the cheese, and fresh baby spinach.
