Vegan Pili Nut Cheese Recipe
Ingredients
- 100g pili nuts (any flavour)
- 150ml water
- 1 ts nutritional yeast
- 1 tbs lemon juice
- 1 probiotic capsule
- cheesecloth or clean thin towel
- rubber band
Preparation
Blend together the pili nuts with water and probiotic, ideally, you should get a thick smooth consistency, if it's too watery add more nuts if too thick add more water
Prepare a bowl where the liquid will be poured into
Once blended pour in the mixture into a strainer that's been pre-lined with cheesecloth and fix it with the rubber band
Place a heavy object on top so that the water will get out of the cheesecloth and form a firm texture
Leave aside for about 35 hours, that will allow the probiotic bacteria to start the fermentation process
After this time has passed, drain the water from the bowl and open the cheesecloth to transfer cheese into a small container
Start mixing it with nutritional yeast, add lemon juice, salt or any other herb of your preference
Once mixed well make it is ready to be served! another option, if you feel like you you'd prefer your pili nut cheese to be hard, put it in the fridge for 1-2 hours
