Branza de caju / Cashew cheese

Un aperitiv raw vegan care va va cuceri pe loc: branza de caju. Este atat de cremoasa, aromata si absolut grozava pe paine de casa calda, cu legume proaspete si ceapa verde… Yummmm! :)

Ingrediente:

• 200g caju hidratat (minim 2h)
• 1 catel de usturoi
• sucul de la 1 lamaie
• 2 lg ulei de masline
• 2 lg fulgi de drojdie inactiva
• 50-75ml apa plata (sau in functie de consistenta dorita)
• sare dupa gust
• 1/2 legatura de marar

Introducem in blender ingredientele lichide: apa, sucul de lamaie si uleiul de masline, apoi restul ingredientelor. Mixam bine, mai adaugam putina apa daca dorim o consistenta mai fluida si sare dupa gust.

La final impartim compozitia in 2 parti, in una incorporam mararul tocat marunt, iar pe cealalta o savuram simpla :) Pofta mare!
