Queso de Anacardo (Vegano y sin aceite)

Ingredientes

• 1 cup raw cashews
• 1/2 cup water
• 4 oz. can diced green chiles
• 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
• 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp. onion powder
• 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp. smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp. salt

Preparación

1. 1

   Soak the cashews: In a heat-safe bowl, cover the raw cashews with hot water (just under boiling) until they are submerged. Set aside and let sit for about 10 minutes. This makes them easier to blend.*

2. 2

   Meanwhile, add all other ingredients to a small high-speed blender. (I use a NutriBullet.) Start with 1/2 cup water, and add more as needed to achieve desired consistency. Then drain and rinse cashews and add to blender.

3. 3

   Blend for 20-30 seconds or until smooth. Taste and adjust flavor, liquid, and salt as desired.

4. 4

   --- Warm it up (optional): ---

5. 5

   Microwave: Place desired amount in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in small increments, stirring often.

6. 6

   Stovetop: Pour prepared queso in a small saucepan or skillet over medium-low heat. Let heat for about 5-10 minutes or until warmed through. Stir often to prevent burning. It will slightly thicken as it heats.

7. 7

   Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C). Pour queso in a small oven-safe dish (covered) and heat for about 10-15 minutes.
