Medium Cheddar Cheese Sauce Live Raw And Vegan Recipes

MEDIUM CHEDDAR CHEESE SAUCE (LIVE, RAW, AND VEGAN)

Steps:

• Place cashews in a large bowl. Pour enough water over cashews to cover.
• Cover the bowl and soak cashews overnight, at least 12 hours.
• Drain the water from cashews; place cashews in a blender. For a tangier cheddar flavor add 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice to cashews. Pour enough water to come to 1/4-inch below of the top of the cashews. Blend until partially smooth.
• Place nutritional yeast, onion, sunflower seed oil, salt, garlic powder, tamari sauce, turmeric, and cayenne pepper in blender. Blend until smooth.

SMOKY VEGAN CHEDDAR CHEESY DIP OR SAUCE

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.
