VEGAN SMOKED GOUDA CHEESE RECIPE

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1/2 cup raw almonds, soaked
1/2 cup raw cashews, soaked
1/2 cup water
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp raw agave nectar
1 tsp fresh pre-made mustard
1/2 tsp liquid smoke
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 Tbsp minced, dried onion
1 cup water
5 Tbsp agar flakes or 1 1/2 Tbsp agar powder

Steps:

After soaking the almonds and cashews, drain and rinse them. Place in a high-powered blender. Add 1/2 cup water, lemon juice, agave, mustard, liquid smoke, nutritional yeast, salt, paprika, garlic powder and minced dried onion. Blend until creamy. The mixture will be thick. If you have a Vitamix with a plunger, use that to keep the mixture moving. Otherwise, stop your machine occasionally to scrape the sides down. Test for grittiness by rubbing it between your thumb and finger. If you feel grit, keep blending. Once the cheese mixture is ready, it is time to make the agar. In a small sauce pan, bring 1 cup of water to light boil, add the agar. Stir continuously until the agar had dissolved. This can take several minutes. Keep whisking! If it gels up in the pan, return to heat and melt it down again. Start the blender and get a vortex going with the mixture. Drizzle in the agar gel and blend until combined. You will need to stay focused and move fairly quickly. Agar will start to set up as it cools. Pour into mold and then place in the fridge, uncovered, for at least 30 minutes. Eat sliced or shred! Note ~ I don't use anything to prepare my molds to help them release once it has set. It is good about just popping out. Keep in the fridge up to 5 days.

Time 36m

Yield 24 bouchees

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups gouda cheese, shredded (6 oz.)
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine, softened
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/8 teaspoon salt
24 whole cashews

Steps:

Combine cheese and butter in a large mixing bowl; beat at medium speed of electric mixer until blended.
Combine flour, mustard, and salt; add to cheese mixture, beating until dough is no longer crumbly.
Shape into 24 (1-inch) balls.
Place on lightly greased baking sheets; gently press a cashew on top of each ball.
Bake at 375ºF for 16-18 minutes or until lightly browned.
Let cool on wire racks.

Tips:

Use a food processor to make quick work of the cashew mixture. This will help you achieve a smooth and consistent texture.
If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the cashews by hand. Just be sure to chop them very finely.
Be careful not to over-process the cashew mixture. If you do, it will become too oily and won't hold its shape well.
Be sure to press the cashew mixture firmly into the muffin tins. This will help them hold their shape.
Bake the bouchees until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
Let the bouchees cool completely before serving. This will help them firm up and hold their shape.

Conclusion:

Gouda cashew bouchees are a quick and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with simple ingredients and can be customized to your liking. Whether you serve them as an appetizer or a main course, these bouchees are sure to be a hit.
