Recipe


Ingredients

  • ½ cup raw cashews
  • ¾ cup water
  • 1½ tbsp agar
  • ¾ tsp cheese salt
  • ⅛ tsp citric acid

  • Marinade
  • 2 tbsp white miso
  • ¼ cup apple-cider vinegar or lemon juice
  • 1½ tbsp olive oil
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 tbsp yeast flakes
  • 1 tbsp dried herbs
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp cheese salt

  • Equipment
  • Thermometer
  • Medium cooking pot (non-stick if available)
  • Blender or food processor

Method


  • Place raw cashews in a bowl and fill with water until covered completely. Soak overnight (approximately 8 hours).
  • Drain cashews and rinse with water.
  • Place nuts in a blender or food processor and add remaining feta ingredients.
  • Blend at a high speed until you get a smooth, creamy consistency.
  • Pour mix into a cooking pot and slowly heat to 60ºC on a low heat. It’s important you continuously stir this to ensure milk doesn’t stick, burn or separate.
  • When temperature reaches 60ºC you will notice the mixture thickens. Keep stirring on heat for a further minute to ensure agar is activated and cheese sets.
  • Pour contents of pot into a flat tray, cover and leave in fridge for 1–2 hours or until set.
  • While cheese sets, mix together marinade ingredients in a bowl.
  • Carefully remove from tray, cut into cubes.
  • Place cubes into a jar and pour over marinade mix and leave for 2–3 hours before eating. The longer you leave it, the more flavour will be infused.
  • Can be stored for up to two weeks in an airtight container in the fridge, as the cider acts as a preservative.
