Just because you want to go raw doesn't mean that you have to throw away your favorite recipes that include cheese. If you're looking to get the flavor of cheese in raw form, here is a great way to make your own faux cheese.
Instructions
1. Place 1/2 cup of Brazil nuts and 1/2 cup of raw almonds in a bowl and cover water and a sprinkle of sea salt. Leave the nuts to soak and soften overnight. Drain the water well.
2. Measure into a food processor 2 cups of pine nuts, 1/4 of a small red bell pepper, 1 or 2 cloves of garlic, 1/4 of a small red onion, 1 stem of Swiss chard, 1/4 cup of fresh basil, 1 tbsp. of miso and the juice from one fresh lemon.
3. Add your soaked nuts to the and top them off with a small pinch of cayenne pepper. Process the ingredients thoroughly, adding 1 tsp. of water at a time to make a smooth, cheese-like paste, similar to the consistency of ricotta.
4. Use your raw cheese substitute for making raw pizzas, nachos, salad toppings or even as a dip.
