VEGAN CHEESE WITH HERBS AND GARLIC.

• 1 cup of raw peanuts, without the skin
• 3 tablespoons of Provenzal (2 cloves of minced garlic, parsley, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil)
• 1 cup of unsweetened vegan milk
• 1 cup of water
• A pinch of turmeric
• 2 teaspoons of salt
• 2 green olives or 1 1/2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast
• 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
• 3 tablespoons of sour starch (cassava) or potato starch

Instructions

  • 1.
    Add the peanuts to a bowl and cover them with water, cover and allow them to rest in the fridge overnight, or, simmer them in water for about 6-7 minutes.
  • 2.
    Once the peanuts are soft, add them to a blender along with the water or unsweetened vegan milk, turmeric, salt, starch, nutritional yeast or olives, and white pepper and blend very well.
  • 3.
    Meanwhile, make the herbs mix by chopping fresh parsley and mincing the garlic, then add to a bowl along with the olive oil, then mix until combined. Set aside.
  • 4.
    Once the cheese is blended, add it to a medium-sized pot and stir it under medium-low heat for about 6 minutes or until you see that the cheese thickened up considerably.
  • 5.
    Grease the mold with olive oil or place a cling film on it, and add about one tablespoon of the Provenzale sauce all around the mold. Reserve.
  • 6.
    Turn off the heat and add the cheese to the mold, cover it, and put it in the fridge for at least 6 hours, but for better results, allow it to be in the fridge overnight.
  • 7.
    Remove the cheese from the mold, place it on a plate, and keep refrigerated. Lasts for up to 5 days.
  • 8.
    The mold I used is 12 cm in diameter and 6 cm in height
