And now back to the  Baked Almond Feta Cheese recipe:



Ingredients:

1 cup almonds soaked overnight;

1/3 cup water;

1 tablespoon iodine-free salt;

2 tablespoons lemon juice or ¼ peeled and pitted lemon;

3 tablespoons first cold pressed olive oil;

2 tablespoons nutritional yeast flakes (optional);  

Instructions:

Mix all ingredients in the blender to obtain a smooth cream.

Place the mixture in a 3-layer cheesecloth, and tie it into a ball.

Place the ball ‘hanging’ above a strainer bowl for at least 12 hours, at room temperature, to allow the extra liquid drain completely.

 Preheat the oven at 350 F, remove the cheesecloth and place the ‘cheese’ into an oiled oven bowl.

Cook for 30 minutes or until it turns golden.

Sprinkle with olive oil with fresh minced herbs when serving (e.g.: 2 tablespoons first cold pressed olive oil mixed with 1 tablespoon minced fresh dill).

Serve hot or cold, with (or without) kamut or spelt bread or toast, and raw vegetables.

Enjoy! Bon appétit! Pofta buna!
