Without animal protein, you should befriend plant-based foods like nuts. Milk, yogurt, cream and cheese - all this can be prepared from nuts. The main thing is to choose the right raw material and observe every detail.
At the Moscow restaurant KM20, they prepare excellent cashew cheese. Very cool to spread on whole grain bread with melted light nut notes and topped with avocado slices.
In this article, KM20 chief Alexander Shtepa tells you how to make cheese from cashews, along with what you can eat. At the end of the article is a recipe for grilled cauliflower and toast with cheese and avocado from the restaurant's menu. . Alexander says:
“Cashew cheese is the simplest. You need to follow the technique carefully. First, don't try to swap cashews for other nuts. Since cashews have a high fat content essential for cheese and are sold peeled, they can be removed without heat treatment.
An important component of this cheese is rejuvelak. It is a non-alcoholic beverage made by fermenting grains. If there is no Rejuvelac, it can be exchanged for an additive-free general kombucha. Without kombucha, you can have soy milk and water, but it will not work properly.
This recipe specifically mentions dried onions and garlic. They are here for the taste, and if you can't find dried onions for example, you can easily replace them with paprika. Finding dried garlic is not a problem. You can also add any dried herbs and spices you like here, from turmeric to thyme. But I like this basic neutral variation so the cheese can be paired with other foods later.
For example, you can make yogurt from this cheese and pour it over grilled cauliflower. We also add cheese to our avocado toast. "
