Non-Dairy "Cheesy" Sauce
Source of Recipe
Originally from Vegkansas city website
List of Ingredients
* 1 cup + 2 tablespoons water
* 1/4 cup nutritional yeast (not brewer's yeast or active yeast)
* 2 tablespoons cornstarch
* 1 tablespoon flour
* 1 teaspoon lemon juice
* 1/2 teaspoon garlic granules
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1 tablespoon canola oil (optional)Recipe
Place all the ingredients into a small saucepan and stir over medium heat until it starts to thicken, then let it bubble for 30 seconds.
Whisk vigorously. It will become very thick.
Microwave option: Pour the mixture into a microwave-proof bowl; cover, and cook on high for 2 minutes. Whisk, then microwave for 2 more minutes, and whisk again.
Drizzle over pizza or other food and then broil or bake until a skin forms on top. Alternatively, refrigerate in a small, covered plastic conatiner for up to one week. It will become firm and spreadable. Spread on bread or quesadilas for grilling.
NB: The oil adds richness and helps it melt better, but the cheese still only contains 2.6 grams of fat per 1/4 cup. I think you might be find a more nutricious oil like canola, or coconut oil rather than canola, but that's just my opinion (smile.)
