Total time: 
Serves: 4-6 servings
 
Ingredients
  • ¼ cup water
  • 2 tablespoons dry white wine (optional; substitute water if preferred)
  • 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice or good vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast (optional)
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • Freshly ground pepper
  • Makes about 1½ cups.
Instructions
  1. Place the nuts in a salad bowl, cover with fresh water, and let stand for 2 hours.
  2. Drain the nuts and place them in the bowl of a food processor or blender. Add ¼ cup water and the rest of the ingredients, and mix until thoroughly puréed, stopping to scrape the sides of the bowl every once in a while. Add a little more water if necessary and blend again to adjust the consistency; the cheese will get a little more solid as it sets.
  3. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and let stand somewhere cool for 24 hours before placing in the fridge, where it will keep for another five days.
