Recipe:
Makes about 10 servings
Ingredients:
600 g - Cauliflower Florets - About 1 small head
28 g - Tahini
10 g - Nutritional Yeast
18 g - White Miso Paste
10 g - Dijon Mustard
18 g - Tapioca Starch/Flour
½ tbsp - Kosher Salt - Plus more to taste
½ tbsp - Black Pepper
1 tsp - Garlic Powder
½ tbsp - Apple Cider Vinegar
60-120 ml - Unsweetened, non-dairy milk
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add in cauliflower florets. Turn heat down and simmer for 7-10 minutes or until fork tender.
Meanwhile, add tahini, nutritional yeast, miso paste, mustard, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and apple cider vinegar to a high speed blender.
Drain florets and add to blender. Gradually add in non-dairy milk*.
When mixture is smooth, add it to a pot over low heat. Whisk quickly and continuously. In batches, add in tapioca starch until fully incorporated. Continue to whisk for 4-5 minutes or until thick.
Pour mixture into a container and allow to cool completely.
Chill in the fridge for at least an hour. Serve with crackers or apple slices, or use as a topping for pizza or lasagna.
Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
*Notes:
Add in just enough liquid for the blender to blend smoothly. You do not want the mixture to be too liquidy
