Cheese-Free Nut Ball
From PETA'S web site
www.vegcooking.com -
1 8-oz. pkg. tempeh - 1/2 cup sliced almonds - 2/3 cup vegan
mayonnaise - 3 tbsp nutritional yeast - 2 tbsp soy sauce - breadcrumbs
(optional)
Cube the tempeh and steam for 20 minutes. Let cool. Meanwhile
roast the almonds in a dry frying pan until lightly browned, stirring
frequently. Place the tempeh, mayonnaise, yeast and soy sauce in a food
processor and process until smooth. Add a little water if the mixture seems too
dry. Refrigerate until firm. Shape the tempeh mixture into a ball and roll it
in the almonds. Add breadcrumbs if the mixture seems too moist. Refrigerate for
at least 2 hours. Serve with crackers and vegetables. Makes 8-10
servings.
Web Designer's Note: The nutritional yeast gives this
dish a remarkably "cheesy" taste - very delicious. |
