  • 1 large clove Garlic Minced
  • 1 tbsp Dried Oregano
  • 2 tsp Dried Thyme
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of Pepper
  • ¼ cup Water add more if needed

Instructions

  • Soak the raw cashew nuts in water for at least 2 hours. If you’re in a hurry, you can soak them in water overnight and they will be ready to cook in the morning.
  • Drain the water from the cashews and pour the cashews into a food processor along with the minced garlic, nutritional yeast, white vine vinegar, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt and pepper.
    Pulse until the cashews are completely blended. Scrape down the sides in between blending.

    Pour the cashew cheese into a covered container and store in the refrigerator until you are ready to use.
