It’s a little known fact that macadamias can be used to make a healthy, clean eating, vegan alternative to dairy cheese. Use it as a base for these delicious macadamia cheese chive balls* – great as a tapas dish or in a delicious summer salad**.
Ingredients
- 2 cups unsalted macadamias
- 1 L water
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
- 6 tbsp water extra
Instructions
- Place the macadamias in a bowl and cover with the water. Set aside for 6 hours.
- Drain and rinse well and place into a food processor. Add the lemon juice, salt and pepper and blend to combine. Add the extra water and process until smooth, scraping down the sides in between processing.
- Wrap the macadamia cheese in muslin and place into a colander over a bowl large enough to catch any excess liquid. Place in the fridge overnight. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
