ALMOND 'FETA CHEESE' SPREAD WITH HERB OIL (VEGAN)



Almond 'feta Cheese' Spread With Herb Oil (Vegan) image

From the Fab Five list in the April 2009 issue of Vegetarian Times. I never thought I'd have enough time to make vegan "cheese," but because this was one of the editors' picks I gave it a shot, and I'm so glad I did! Though it's called "feta cheese," in the title, it really is a creamy spread. I told my DH that it was an "almond spread" and he loved it! Asked what kind of cheese I used in it, and was surprised to learn there was none. The recipe is really easy, but takes lots of waiting time (not included in the times). I'm listing it exactly like in the magazine. But for the oil topping at the end, I think 1/4 cup oil is too much. Personally, I'm cutting it back to 2 tablespoons next time. Enjoy! Edited to add: The original recipe in the magazine says to bake it 200F for 40 minutes, but as several reviewers noted here (and I agree) it's better in a hotter oven. Try 400F and watch for it to brown. Baking is only needed to turn it from creamy to crumbly, so it's completely up to you.

Time 55m

Yield 10 oz, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup whole blanched almond
1/4 cup lemon juice
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup olive oil
1 garlic clove
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leave
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary leaf

Steps:

  • Place almonds in medium bowl and cover with 3 inches of water. Let soak 24 hours. Drain and rinse.
  • Puree almonds, lemon juice, 3 T olive oil, garlic, salt and 1/2 cup water in blender or food processor for 6 minutes or until really creamy.
  • Place a triple layer of cheesecloth in strainer and spoon almond mixture onto cheesecloth. Bring sides together twist into an orange-sized ball and secure with a twist tie. Chill for 12 hours.
  • Line baking sheet with parchment and transfer almond ball from cheesecloth. Shape to look like a 6" round of brie (about 3/4" thick). (Note, I just put it into a pretty pottery bowl and baked it. Then I could pour the oil on top and serve it. No parchment needed.).
  • Bake 40 minutes or until top is slightly firm. Cool. Then chill.
  • Combine 1/4 cup olive oil with herbs and heat over medium low heat until heated through but not simmering. Cool to room temperature and drizzle over almond spread just before serving.
  • Spread on crusty bread or crakers. You'll love it!

This spread is an ideal choice for people who are lactose intolerant or vegan as it doesn't contain any dairy products. In this article, we will explore what almond turkey cheese spread recipes are and why they are gaining popularity among health enthusiasts.

Almond Flour

Almond flour is the main ingredient used in almond turkey cheese spread recipes. It is a gluten-free alternative to regular wheat flour, which makes it an excellent option for people with celiac disease, gluten intolerance, or a wheat allergy. Almond flour is a low-carb and high-protein ingredient that helps to regulate blood sugar levels and aids in weight management. It also contains healthy fats, dietary fiber, and essential nutrients such as vitamin E and magnesium.

Turkey

Turkey is an excellent source of protein and low in fat, which makes it an ideal ingredient for making healthy spreads. It is also rich in vitamin B6 and B12, both of which are essential for brain function, hormone regulation, and nervous system health. Turkey is a lean meat, making it a perfect choice for people who want to lose weight or maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Cheese

Although almond turkey cheese spread does not contain any dairy products, it still has a cheesy flavor. This is achieved through the use of nutritional yeast, which has a strong, cheesy flavor and is a rich source of B vitamins, protein, and minerals such as zinc and selenium. Nutritional yeast is a versatile ingredient that is commonly used in vegan dishes to add flavor and nutrients.

Seasonings

Almond turkey cheese spread recipes also contain various seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, dried herbs, and spices. These seasonings add flavor to the cheese spread without adding extra calories or fat. Garlic powder and onion powder are packed with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds that promote heart health and boost immunity. Dried herbs and spices also have health benefits such as improving digestion, reducing inflammation, and lowering blood sugar levels.

Almond turkey cheese spread recipes are a great way to enjoy the goodness of nuts and protein in one spread. It is an easy-to-make recipe that can be used for sandwiches, crackers, wraps or even as a dip. However, to make a delicious almond turkey cheese spread, you need to follow certain tips.

Tip 1: Choose the right type of almond:

Not all almonds are created equal when it comes to making almond turkey cheese spread. When selecting almonds, it is important to choose the freshest ones. Ideally, you should use raw unsalted almonds, which will give the spread the desired flavor and texture. Using roasted or salted almonds may alter the taste and thickness of the spread.

Tip 2: Use lean turkey meat:

The type of turkey meat used in making the spread is crucial. It is best to use lean turkey meat, as it has fewer calories and less fat. When choosing turkey meat, opt for boneless and skinless turkey breast. This will ensure that the spread has a smooth texture and a healthy flavor.

Tip 3: Add the right amount of cheese:

Adding cheese to your almond turkey cheese spread recipe is crucial to give it a rich and creamy texture. However, it is important to use the right amount of cheese in the recipe. Too much cheese can make the spread too thick and overpowering, while too little cheese can make it loose and bland. Ideally, you should use a quarter cup of low-fat cheese.

Tip 4: Choose the right herbs:

Herbs can add a pop of flavor to your almond turkey cheese spread recipe. When choosing herbs, pick ones that complement the taste of turkey and almonds. Some good options are rosemary, thyme, or sage. It is important to use fresh herbs as they will bring out the flavor of the spread. You can also experiment with different herbs to find the perfect blend for your taste buds.

Tip 5: Proper blending:

Blending is a crucial step in making almond turkey cheese spread. When you add all the ingredients to the blender, it is important to blend them well. This will ensure that the spread has a smooth and creamy consistency. If your blender is not powerful enough, you can use a food processor or a hand mixer.

Tip 6: Store the spread properly:

Once you have made almond turkey cheese spread, it is important to store it properly. It can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge, where it can last for up to four days. Before serving, allow the spread to sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to soften.

Tip 7: Add some texture:

Almond turkey cheese spread can be made more interesting by adding some texture to it. Some good options are chopped nuts, diced celery, or grated carrots. This will give the spread a crunch, and make it more delicious.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, making almond turkey cheese spread recipes is easy and fun, but following these tips can make all the difference. Choosing the right ingredients, blending well, and experimenting with different herbs and textures can make your almond turkey cheese spread recipe unique and delicious. With these tips, you can enjoy the goodness of nuts and protein in one spread.
