Homemade Non-Dairy Cheeses

Like Indiana Jones in 1989 (The Last Crusade), I've
been searching for my personal version of the Holy
Grail for many years. That discovery was made yesterday.
After countless attempts, I've created soy cheese from
freshly made soymilk, and it's delicious!

To make homemade cheese, there is just one "unusual"
to purchase. Agar. I found a supply at my local Asian
grocer. Agar comes in packages of long strands of seaweed
which can be easily broken into flakes. I bought enough
Agar flakes to turn three gallons of soymilk into cheese
and paid less than $2 for that seaweed-based gelatinous
solidifying agent.

Amazing American Cheese

Ingredients

2 cups soymilk
1/3 cup agar flakes

1/2 cup raw cashews
1 cup drained red pimentos
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
2 Tb. onion granules
1 Tb. salt
1/2 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. Tabasco Sauce
2 Tb. marinara sauce

Method

Combine soymilk and agar flakes.
Bring to a boil. Turn down flame and
gently simmer for 2 minutes, stirring
occasionally. Put soymilk mixture in
blender with remaining ingredients and
process until smooth (15-20 seconds).
Immediately pour mixture into lightly
oiled one-quart container. Cover and
refrigerate overnight.

Super Swiss Cheese

Ingredients

2 cups soymilk
1/3 cup agar flakes

1 cup raw cashews
1-12 ounce package soft tofu
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
2 Tb. onion granules
1 Tb. salt

For a unique Danish variation, add 1 Tb. of aromatic
caroway seeds or 1 Tb. dill to the Swiss cheese
recipe.

If you do not own a SoyToy, you probably can purchase
freshly made soymilk (with no additives) from your
local Asian grocer.

The cheeses go great on sandwiches or crumbled
into salads. Get creative and share your favorite
recipe with me. For SoyToy information regarding
