Cheese Replacement
This was adapted from The Mad Cowboy, Howard Lyman and his book "No More Bull". The "cheese" in this recipe is great for pizza, quesadilla's, dipping your chips or for most any recipe calling for cheese.
Makes about 1 1/4 cup
Ingredients:
1 cup water
1/4 cup nutrional yeast
2 Tbsp. corn starch
1 Tbsp. flour (I use spelt flour, one of my favs, but any whole grain flour will do)
1 tsp. lemon juice
1/2 tsp. salt (or tamari)
1/4 tsp. of garlic granules or garlic salt
Directions:
Place all ingredients in a blender and blend smooth. Pour the mixture into a small saucepan and stir over medium heat until it starts to thicken, make sure to whisk frequently and vigorously so it doesn't burn. Keep it on the heat until it reaches the desired thickness.
Variations:
Melty Cheddar Cheese version

1 tsp. lemon juice
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
