The Allure of Lentil-Based Dairy-Free Cheese

Traditional cheese substitutes often lack taste and texture for people who are lactose intolerant, vegan, or just trying to cut back on dairy. On the other hand, lentil cheese tastes and feels rich and creamy, just like typical cheese, but it doesn’t include any dairy or milk.

Ingredients for Making Lentil Cheese:

One cup of lentils, dried

two glasses of water

Two tablespoons of nutritional yeast

One teaspoon of powdered garlic

One tsp of powdered onion

half a teaspoon of salt

One tsp lemon juice

Spices or herbs of your choice are optional but enhance taste.

Guidelines:

Prepare the Lentils:

After giving the lentils a good rinse under running water, put them and the water in a saucepan. After bringing to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer the lentils for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they are soft.

Mix the ingredients together:

After the lentils are cooked, rinse them well and put them in a food processor or blender.

To the blender, add the nutritional yeast, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and lemon juice. In order to get the right consistency, add a little water as necessary and blend until smooth and creamy.

Adjust Seasoning to Taste:

After tasting the lentil cheese, taste and adjust the spice. To taste, you can increase the amount of salt, nutritional yeast, or spices.

Relax and Have Fun:

To help the lentil cheese solidify, transfer it to a container and place it in the refrigerator for at least an hour. The cheese can be spread on crackers, added to sandwiches, or used in any recipe that asks for cheese once it has cooled.
