CHEDDAR QUESO

INGREDIENTS

1 cup cashews soaked in hot water for one hour or microwaved for 3 minutes 1/4 cup nutritional yeast 2 teaspoons of miso paste or 2 tablespoons sauerkraut without the juice 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 teaspoon of turmeric 1 – 2 teaspoons smoked paprika 1/4 cup of tapioca/corn starch or arrow root powder 2 cups of water 1 small can of chili peppers A few shakes of your favorite hot sauce

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

Add all ingredients except the chilis and hot sauce to a high-speed blender or food processor.

Process and blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth (no lumps at all).

Transfer the mixture to a medium-size pot and cook on medium heat, stirring with a whisk continually until the mixture thickens.

Once the cheddar queso gets to a pudding-like texture, remove it from the heat and mix in the chilis and hot sauce.

Pour into a baking dish or a small cast iron skillet, and bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees.

Some people also enjoy stirring in cooked vegan meat crumbles for some additional taste and texture. We recommend that you limit processed foods like the vegan meat crumbles during the #Shred10 program, but it’s a good hack to know in case you are asked to bring a dip to a party!

I hope this helps, and enjoy your delicious cheddar queso!
