Turmeric Almond Vegan Cheese is a delicious and nutritious plant-based alternative to traditional cheese. Packed with healthy fats, proteins, and the anti-inflammatory properties of turmeric, this vegan cheese pairs perfectly with crunchy celery sticks for a simple yet satisfying snack or appetizer.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Soak the almonds in water for at least 8 hours or overnight. This will soften the almonds and make them easier to blend.
- Drain and rinse the almonds thoroughly.
- In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the soaked almonds, juice from half a lemon, 1/2 cup of water, 1 tsp turmeric powder, 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 garlic clove, and 1 tsp salt.
- Blend until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender a few times to ensure everything is well combined.
- Wash the celery stalks thoroughly and trim off the ends.
- Cut the celery stalks into manageable pieces, about 3-4 inches long, for easy serving.
- Spread a small amount of coconut oil onto a serving dish to prevent sticking.
- Transfer the turmeric almond vegan cheese to the dish.
- Serve with the prepared celery sticks on the side for dipping.
- For a more elaborate presentation, you can fill the hollow parts of the celery stalks with the turmeric almond cheese spread.
Tips:
- Soak the almonds overnight or for at least 8 hours to make them easier to blend and to achieve a creamier texture.
- Use a high-speed blender or food processor to ensure a smooth and even consistency.
- Adjust the salt and lemon juice to your taste preference, adding more if necessary to achieve the desired flavor.
- For a slightly sweeter taste, you can add a small amount of date syrup or maple syrup to the mixture.
- Refrigerate the cheese for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
This Turmeric Almond Vegan Cheese is not only a healthy and tasty alternative to dairy cheese but also incredibly easy to prepare. The combination of almonds, turmeric, and garlic creates a flavor-packed spread that pairs excellently with fresh celery stalks. Enjoy this delightful dish for its nutritional benefits and its delicious taste.
