Nuts!


Roasted. Raw. Blurred into a protein butter. In salads. In granola. In trail mix. In pie. In bread…….So many ways to enjoy the nuts and seeds sold at Mission Community Market. Here is one way that might be new to you: Nut Cheez! Yes, blended up with the right accessories, and you have yourself a pate of sorts that goes well on pizza, bread, stuffed into squash, or eaten by the spoonful. Here is a basic recipe that gives you protein and positive reviews!

NUT CHEEZ

1 cup of nuts (walnuts, almonds, pecans, sunflower seeds….any combo of local MCM nuts!)
1 Tablespoon miso or 2 tsp salt to taste
2 Tablespoons olive oil
pinch of fresh herbs (rosemary, oregano)

Just blend all this together until it is a think ricotta-like consistency, adding water as needed to assist blending. (If you think ahead, soak the nuts overnight in some water.) You can add black pepper, some sundried tomato, or some turmeric to add some color! Or, use some flavor-roasted nuts for a more robust taste. More nut cheese recipe ideas here…..

Enjoy!
