Hello Veggie Cheese


This is similar to the Hello Cheese (page 487), but the veggies give this a slightly more "aged" cheese taste. If you're a foodie and like to detect hints of flavors in every bite, try this version. This is actually my preference, even if Pearl doesn't like it as much. The natural saltiness of celery and the creamy savory taste of cooked onion lend the perfect gourmet touch to this cheese. Stay within 1 to 3 tablespoons for FP, otherwise, this will be a light S. This recipe is found in the "Condiments and Extras" section of the Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook, page 488. This recipe is a multiple-serve recipe.

Description


This is similar to the Hello Cheese (page 487), but the veggies give this a slightly more "aged" cheese taste. If you're a foodie and like to detect hints of flavors in every bite, try this version. This is actually my preference, even if Pearl doesn't like it as much. The natural saltiness of celery and the creamy savory taste of cooked onion lend the perfect gourmet touch to this cheese. Stay within 1 to 3 tablespoons for FP, otherwise, this will be a light S. This recipe is found in the "Condiments and Extras" section of the Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook, page 488. This recipe is a multiple-serve recipe.

Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup celery (rough chopped)
  • 1/4 medium onion
  • 1/2 cup water (plus 2 Tbs)
  • 2 Tbs agar powder
  • 2 Tbs TH Baking Blend
  • 1 Tbs lemon juice
  • 3/4 tsp TH Mineral Salt
  • 2 tsp sesame oil (toasted)
  • 2 tsp tahini (sesame paste)
  • 1 scoop TH Integral Collagen
  • 1 tsp liquid smoke
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1 pinch turmeric (optional)
Instructions
  1. 1
    Place the celery and onion in a small saucepan with 2 tablespoons water, cover, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer the veggies until they are tender.
  2. 2
    Add the remaining ½ cup water to the saucepan; turn to high heat. When almost boiling, add the agar powder and whisk extremely well while bringing back to a boil. Reduce the heat slightly and whisk well for 30 seconds. Add the Baking Blend and keep whisking for another 30 seconds.
  3. 3
    Turn off the heat. Add the remaining ingredients to the saucepan, then use a spatula to scrape the mixture into a blender. Blend until smooth.
  4. 4
    Pour the cheesy mixture into a container and allow to cool. Put in the refrigerator to chill and set, then cover the container so the edges of the cheese do not harden.
Note

Recipe Notes

Note: As with the other dairy-free cheese recipes, reduce tahini and oil by half so you can use even more for FP or E.
