Feta

[Eileen]

Does anyone have a recipe for raw "feta?" I loved Greek salads when I ate SAD, and would love to make a raw version. Any ideas?

Almond Feta Cheese by Karen Parker

• 1½ cups almonds, soaked for 12 hours
• 1 cup cashews, soaked for 12 hours
• ¼ cup light miso (such as chickpea or 'golden' miso)
• ¾ cup water
• ¼ cup fresh parsley, minced
• ¼ cup basil
• 3 tablespoons fresh oregano, minced
• 4 tablespoons fresh thyme, minced
• 3 tablespoons fresh white sage, minced
• ¼ cup olive oil
• 1 teaspoon white pepper
• 2 teaspoons Celtic sea salt
• ¼ cup leeks, minced

Homogenize almonds in Green Life or Champion juicer (if you don't have a juicer, mix 2 cups water with almonds in high-speed blender until creamy. Then strain through fine-mesh bag (save almond liquid for use in Chocolate Mylk recipe, right)). Keep almond pulp in mesh bag.

In blender, combine miso, water, herbs, oil, salt, white pepper and leeks until very creamy. It should taste too salty. Pour miso mixture into mesh bag, catching all liquid that comes out (liquid will be used in Holiday Gravy recipe opposite). Continue to squeeze liquid out of bag until no more will come out. Joz
