Zuccheesy
THM-Friendly: 1/6 of the recipe is a FP
- 2 small summer squash or zucchini, diced, steamed, and cooled (*you might want to peel the zucchini or your cheese will be very green)
- 1 and 1/2 Tbsp. coconut oil, melted
- 1/2 Tbsp. sesame oil
- juice of one-half lemon (1 and 1/2 Tbsp.)
- 1 tsp. oat fiber
- 3/4 tsp. mineral salt
Blend these ingredients together in your blender.
Now bloom 4 Tbsp. gelatin in 1/4 cup of cold water in a small bowl. Stir and let sit for a minute. Then add 1/4 cup just off-the-boil water and stir.
Now add to the blender:
- the gelatin/water mixture
- 2 Tbsp. nutritional yeast
Blend the contents for 15 seconds. Stir in by hand 2 Tbsp. dried parsley or dill. (If you blend in the blender, you are apt to have green cheese...) You are welcome to leave these spices out completely or add different spices to your taste.
Pour into silicon molds. Refrigerate for a couple of hours.
*Pour into a shallow baking pan if you want it to firm up quickly. However, if you want to get large slices, you would need to put it in a deep small baking dish and refrigerate longer.
*These directions differ slightly from the video. Either method will work, but the gelatin is more beneficial if it is bloomed before adding to the rest of the ingredients.
enJOY!!!
