2 cups seeds or nuts*

3 cups pure water

 

An easy recipe to create a creamy seed cheese that is fermented a bit in a

bottle or jar. The fermentation renders lots of freindly bacteria and enzymes,

which also make the nuts easy to digest. There are many delicious combinations

of seeds and nuts that may be blended to create interesting textures and tastes.

Cashews or macadamia nuts are very rich and creamy and are great when blended

with almond or sunflower seeds.

 

* Combos to try: #1 1 cup sunflower seeds with 1 cup cashews, #2 1 cup almonds

with 1/2 cup each pumpkin seeds and macadamia nuts, #3 1 cup almonds with 1/2

cup sunflower seeds and 1/2 cup walnuts

 

Grind seeds powdery fine in a coffee/seed mill. Transfer to a blender. Add 1

cup water to blender and liquefy. Add the remaining water and puree well.

 

Pour into a glass jar and cover the jar with a paper towel. Wrap a kitchen

towel around the jar and keep in a warm place for 8 hours or so; until

separation of 'cheese' and liquid occurs from fermentation. (The 'cheese' will

be at the top and the liquid will be at the bottom.) Spoon out cheese and

season as desired.

 

NOTE: You can also add herbs or spices to seed cheese before fermentation, or

forego fermentation altogether and use as a dip (use less water in this case).
