Servings: 6 people
Ingredients
Cashew Goat Cheese
- 1 C. Cashews, raw
- 1 Tbsp. Tahini
- 4 Tbsp. Lemon juice
- 4 Tbsp. Coconut oil
- 5 Tbsp. Water
- 1 tsp. Salt
- Cheese cloth
Pimento Spread
- 1 tsp. Onion powder
- 1/4 C. Pimentos,chopped
- 2 Scallions, chopped
- 1 Tbsp. Sweet relish
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Soak the cashews overnight.
- Drain the cashews, then add to a blender or food processor along with the remaining cheese ingredients. Blend until nice and smooth and creamy. It may take a few minutes, and you will probably need to scrap down the blender a few times. You can always add a little more water if it is not getting smooth enough for you.
- Once it is nice and creamy, add to cheese cloth that is folded over two or three times. Wrap around the cheese and tie it off. Set in a colander over a bowl. Sit in the fridge overnight to drain.
- The next day, give your cheese a nice squeeze to get out any left over moisture. Add to a mixing bowl, then add the rest of the pimento spread ingredients. Stir together, taste and adjust seasoning. Serve with crackers or veggies. Store in the fridge.
