Again and again I stand in front of these delicious nachos in the supermarket. I used to just buy a dip to go with it without much thought. Back then, it was still okay if there was a little milk here and there. But since Irenounce everything animal, it is no longer so easy to “quickly” reach into the shelf. This is especially true if you want something cheesy, such as a very simple cheese dip. This is not always about the nachos, because other dishes such as sandwiches or salads can be wonderfully refined with this great dip.
VEGAN CHEESE DIP – QUICK AND EASY
Cashews form the basis, as they are easy and quick to process. They are soft and can be transformed into all kinds of creamy sauces.
Perhaps a few words about cashews:
- Versatile for savory, as well as for sweet dishes
- Low fat content (42%) compared to other nuts
- 20% protein content
- B vitamins and folic acid
- Iron, magnesium, potassium
Here are my tips for processing cashews. I don’t soak the cashews beforehand, as they turn out just as creamy and super fine with my blender. If your blender is not that powerful, I recommend soaking the seeds beforehand. There are two methods here, which take different amounts of time:
- COLD SOAK: Soak cashews in cold, clear water and cover. Let stand at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight. Drain, pat dry with a clean cotton kitchen towel and use.
- HOT SOAKING: This is the Quick Method . Boil water, place cashews in a heatproof bowl and pour hot water over them. DO NOT COVER and leave to infuse for one hour. Drain, pat dry with a clean cotton kitchen towel and use.
Vegan cheesy nacho dip – or just liquid gold
The list of ingredients is short and straightforward: cashews, Almond milk , nutritional yeast (it provides the cheesy flavor), garlic powder, miso paste, lemon juice, maple syrup and one of my favorite spices: Turmeric. All things that belong to the basics in the vegan kitchen.
Then actually only one thing is missing: A really good blender, because the more powerful it is, the finer and creamier the dip will be. I once invested in a really good device and I am also very satisfied with it. You can find the link further under (nosponsoring).
Fits very well as a dip to vegan nachos, to Burgers sandwiches or simply with vegetable sticks.
