Ingredients
-
1 cup (or less) nuts soaked 24 hrs. (not peanuts)
1 can any type of beans or chick peas (low sodium)
6 Tbsp nutritional yeast flakes (or more)
2 or 3 Tbsp lemon juice
1 red/yellow or orange bell pepper
1/2 sweet onion
4 tsp Miso
Water: up to 1/2 cup
Tips
-Add a bit more water as needed to encourage the nuts to blend. Don't add too much or the result will be too thin.
-It will develop a bit of a cheesier taste the longer it sits in the fridge.
-Chick peas give a more cheese-like colour and taste, but any beans are delicious in this.
-This would be excellent as a dip or spread with crackers, breads, vegetables etc. It would also be good on pasta.
-Adding spices or other veggies is encouraged. Go ahead and experiment!
