Introduction

I adapted this recipe from one found on choosingraw.com; adjust the ratio of ingredients to suit your palate. This makes an excellent grilled cheese!

Ingredients

1 cup walnuts
2 T no salt-added tomato paste
1 T miso paste
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1/2 t paprika
juice of one lemon (about 2-3 T)
1 T apple cider vinegar
1/2 t black pepper
1/4-1/2 cup water
salt as desired

Directions

Place the walnuts in a food processor and pulse several times to chop them, then process until they are finely ground. Add the remaining ingredients except for the water and salt and pulse several times to combine. Stop as needed to scrape down the sides of the food processor. Add the water two tablespoons at a time until the mixture reaches the desired consistency.

Serve immediately or refrigerate to allow it to thicken.
