This is the recipe for my favourite vegan parmesan. Sprinkle over pasta dishes; use it on top of pizzas; add to salads for an extra burst of flavour; or incorporate into soups for a cheesy taste. It’s incredibly versatile and packed with flavour.

Ingredients

  • 150 g ( oz) cashews or almonds, or a mix of both
  • 18 g (<

Method

Place the cashews, nutritional yeast, tamari sauce and salt into the bowl of a food processor or high-powered blender. Pulse for 20–30 seconds or until the ingredients turn to a fine, crumbly texture that resembles grated parmesan cheese. Be careful not to over-process, as you don’t want it to turn into a nut butter.

Taste and check for seasoning, and adjust with salt, if necessary.
