Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 cup raw chopped cashews
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium red bell pepper, chopped (or see Note)
1/2 cup cannellini beans, drained and rinsed, or drained and crumbled firm tofu
1/4 cup nutritional yeast flakes
2 to 3 tablespoons lemon juice, to taste
1 teaspoon prepared yellow or Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons barbecue seasoning blend, such as mesquite (see Note)
1 teaspoon sweet or smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
Pinch of dry mustard, optional

Steps:

Combine the cashews with enough hot water to cover in a heatproof bowl. Allow to stand for about an hour.
Heat the oil in a small skillet. Add the bell pepper and sauté over medium heat until it starts to brown lightly here and there, stirring frequently.
Combine the soaked cashews, bell pepper, and all the remaining ingredients in a food processor. Process until smooth. Stop the machine and scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula from time to time. It takes a good few minutes to make this smooth.
To serve: If using as a dip or spread, transfer to an attractive crock or shallow bowl and surround with fresh bread, grilled bread (bruschetta), crackers, and/or raw vegetables. If using as a sauce, toss with hot noodles or dollop onto baked potatoes or hot cooked grains. It's also a great sauce for steamed broccoli and cauliflower.

In a mixing bowl or liquid measuring cup, soak cashews and carrots in very hot water for 30 minutes (uncovered). Then drain and add to a high-speed blender with 1 cup water, tapioca starch, nutritional yeast, apple cider vinegar, sea salt, garlic powder, and dry mustard (turmeric is optional for deeper color). Blend on high until the mixture is smooth.
Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more apple cider vinegar for acidity, nutritional yeast for cheesiness, garlic powder for depth of flavor, or salt to taste.
Transfer to a medium saucepan and heat over medium heat. Cook, while whisking, for 1-2 minutes or until thickened to a spreadable consistency (see photo). It should resemble the texture of soft cooked polenta.
The cheese spread is now ready to use on things like grilled cheese sandwiches, or to add to cooked shells for quick vegan mac ‘n’ cheese (recipes to come!).
