Guest guest Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 haven't tried it yet....sorry..dunno MELTY PIZZA CHEESE, by Bryanna Clark Grogan " This easy recipe is tastier than any commercial vegan cheese substitute and much cheaper. It makes great grilled cheese sandwiches and quesadillas. The nutritional yeast adds protein and lots of B-complex vitamins. (yield: 1 1/4 cups) 1 cup water 1/4 cup nutritional yeast 2 tablespoons cornstarch 1 tablespoon flour 1 teaspoon lemon juice 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon garlic granules 2 tablespoons water 1 tablespoon canola oil (optional) Place all the ingredients, except the water and optional oil, in a blender, and blend until smooth. Pour the mixture into a small sauce pan and stir over medium heat until it starts to thicken, then let it bubble for 30 seconds. Whisk vigorously. Microwave Option: Pour the mixture into a microwave-proof bowl; cover and cook on high for 2 minutes. Whisk, then microwave for 2 more minutes, and whisk again. Whisk in the water and optional oil. The oil adds richness and helps it melt better, but the cheese still only contains 2.6 grams of fat per 1/4 cup. Drizzle immediately over pizza or other food, and broil or bake until a skin forms on top. Alternatively, refrigerate in a small, covered plastic container for up to a week. It will become quite firm when chilled but will remain spreadable. You can spread the firm cheese on bread or quesadillas for grilling, or heat it to spread more thinly on casseroles, etc. Variations [excerpted... there are many]: Melty Chedda Cheese: Use 1/3 cup nutritional yeast flakes and add 1/4 teaspoon each sweet paprika and mustard powder. Use only 1/4 teaspoon salt and add 1 tablespoon light soy or garbanzo miso to the blended mixture. I like this version using tahini, too. Melty Suisse Cheese: Omit the oil and use only 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add 1 tablespoon tahini and 1 tablespoon light soy or chickpea miso to the blended mixture. For a Nacho Sauce: You can add drained canned black beans, chopped jalapenos or other chiles, chopped olives, a pinch of cumin, etc. " " NOTICE: Due to Presidential Executive Orders, the National Security Agency may have read this email without warning, warrant, or notice.
