VEGAN QUESO



Vegan Queso image

A cashew-based queso dip that has tons of flavor and would fool even the pickiest of queso aficionados! This recipe is best made in a high powered blender (I have a Vitamix®). I cannot say what it would be like in something different! Enjoy with tortilla chips or homemade salsa.

Steps:

  • Place cashews in a bowl and cover with 1/2 of the hot water. Soak for 5 minutes. Drain.
  • Combine drained cashews, remaining 1 1/4 cup hot water, nutritional yeast, salsa, garlic, ancho chile powder, Dijon mustard, cumin, and salt in a high-powered blender (such as Vitamix®). Start blending at lowest speed and slowly increase the speed. Blend for 2 minutes. Add more hot water if you want the queso to have a pourable consistency.

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup raw cashew
boiling water, to cover
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ white onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 carrots, sliced
1 serrano pepper, or jalapeño pepper, seeded and sliced, plus more for garnish
½ teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 cup vegetable stock
⅓ cup nutritional yeast
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 cup non-dairy milk
chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish
tortilla chip, for serving

Steps:

  • Add the cashews to a small heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water. Soak for 1 hour, then drain.
  • Heat the olive oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until the garlic is fragrant and the onion begins to soften, about 2 minutes.
  • Add carrots and chiles. Continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the onions are translucent and the chiles are tender.
  • Add the cumin and chili powder and stir well to coat the vegetables.
  • Increase the heat to medium-high and add the vegetable stock. Bring to a simmer before covering and cooking for 15 minutes.
  • Transfer the vegetable mixture to a blender with the soaked cashews, nutritional yeast, salt, pepper, and milk alternative to the blender on top of the sautéed vegetables. Puree until smooth and creamy, adding more milk alternative to adjust the consistency if necessary.
  • Pour the queso into a shallow bowl or serving dish.
  • Garnish with additional chiles and chopped cilantro. Serve with tortilla chips.
  • Enjoy!
