Guest guest Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 I noticed the 1 cup, too, but also noted that the recipe says " 10 to 12 servings. " There are 16 tablespoons in a cup, so we're talking maybe a little more than a tablespoon of cashews and probably an even smaller amount of tofu. 1 TB of raw cashews is around 3.0 grams of fat. You could " pig out " have 2 servings and not exceed a half day's worth of fat on the low end (assuming the tofu is lite and not significant). Essy recommends 14 to 20 grams of fat per day maximum. IMHO, that mitigates the fat issue. Also, it's not added fat (via oil). Yeah, not fat free, but still very very low fat vegan (especially compared to tofu or cheese (even faux cheese) based alternative lasagna). The suggested alternatives posted would work. Drained canned beans, rinsed, and blended with the bread crumbs do so as well. FYI, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
