I love this recipe. I follow the variation at the bottom to make a
cheddar "cheese sauce" and pour it over baked potatoes topped with broccoli for a great
no-fat meal. Another thing I do is make a nacho cheese dip by following the
variation, but instead of using non-dairy milk, I use Rotel spicy tomatoes.
Goes great with baked tortilla chips!
One more variation I've recently invented: add cooked or
frozen chopped spinach to the prepared cheezy sauce. This tastes wonderful
on baked potatoes. I call this Cheeze Florentine!
As always, eliminate the salt if you are strictly
following the Fuhrman or McDougall programs.
1
cup water
1/4 cup
nutritional yeast
2 Tablespoons
cornstarch
1 Tablespoon
flour
1 teaspoon
lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon
salt
1/4 teaspoon
garlic powder
Place all the ingredients in a blender, and blend until smooth. Pour the mixture
into a small sauce pan, and stir over medium heat until it starts to thicken,
then let it bubble for 30 seconds. Whisk vigorously. Whisk in 2 T water. Drizzle
immediately over pizza or other food, and broil or bake until a skin forms on
top. Alternatively, refrigerate in a small, covered plastic container for up to
a week. It will become quite firm when chilled but will still remain spreadable.
You can spread the firm "cheese" on bread or quesadillas for grilling,
or heat it to spread more thinly on casseroles, etc. This makes great
grilled "cheese" sandwiches!!!
VARIATION: To make a cheddar cheesy sauce for pouring over vegetables or baked potatoes,
use 1/3 cup nutritional yeast and add 1/4 tsp. EACH paprika and mustard powder.
Use only 1/4 tsp salt and add 1 Tbsp light miso to the blended mixture.
Then whisk in 3/4 cup non-dairy milk to the finished "cheese" and heat
thoroughly.
