Do you love cheese but cheese doesn’t love you? We’ve got you covered with our Vegan & GF nut-based queso. Impress all your vegan friends with your new cooking skills!

 

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups raw cashews
  • 1/4 cup Brightcider
  • ½ water
  • ½ cup nutritional yeast
  • 4 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • ½ tsp salt, more to taste
  • 1 small can diced green chilis
  • 2 tsp hot sauce (we used YellowBird Habanero)
  • Spiceology’s Purple Haze All-Purpose Rub
  • ⅔ cup well-drained fire-roasted tomatoes (I recommend Muir Glen brand) or chunky salsa
  • Optional fresh chopped cilantro and diced tomatoes for serving

Instructions:

  1. Soak cashews overnight in water (just enough water so that they’re covered).
  2. Start by adding the soaked and drained cashews, water, lemon juice, salt, and nutritional yeast to a high-powered blender. 
  3. Drain the juice from the tomatoes and green chiles over a small bowl. Add the saved liquid to the blender. Keep the tomatoes and green chiles on the side for now.
  4. Blend on high for a few minutes until very smooth. 
  5. Add the “cheese” sauce and the tomatoes and green chiles to a small cast iron pan. Heat until the top turns golden brown. The mixture will thicken slightly. 
  6. Top with any garnishes you’d like. 
  7. Enjoy!
