Uncheese Success!

[Guest guest]

Alright, last night I had to go in search umeboshi paste.

Fortunately, I found it at the second store I went to.

 

The first recipe from uncheese that I tried was herbed boursin cheese

spread. I picked it for a few reasons.

 

1. Simple

2. I liked and recognized everything in it (except for umeboshi)

3. It was the first recipe that caught my eye (I think it may actually

be the first recipe in the book too, lol)

 

At the moment, I haven't had time to post to my blog...so no picture

yet. My review:

 

Well, I like it. Very herby and kind of cheesy. I had some on

crackers this morning and it was great. Also dipped a few carrot

sticks in it, but wasn't a fan of the carrots with it.

 

I can't compare to real boursin cheese as I am not sure I've ever

tried boursin. Tonight I can post the recipe for you all.

 

Basically, just dump white beans, umeboshi paste, garlic, olive oil,

and a bunch of dried herbs into the food processor. I cut the olive

oil in half and used some soy milk as suggested in the forward of the

book. At the store I also grabbed great northern beans instead of

canneloni or regular white beans. The northerns worked fine.

 

Unrelated stuff for all you New Englanders. I'm in Massachusetts, but

travel around Maine/Mass/Ct/NY and soon RI for work. The cabin in

Maine sounds great!

 

For those of you in Massachusetts... On the 21st, I will be doing the

Walk For Animals at Borderland State Park in Easton. (to benfit the

Neponset Valley Humane Society) It is a nice 3 mile walk. Anyone

interested in joining me, let me know. We can setup a metting place

there aat the park.
