Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups raw almonds
- 1/2 cup raw shelled sunflower seeds
- 1 tsp. curry powder
- 1 Tbsp. fresh lime zest
- 4 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup purified water
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Day 1:
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Spread almonds on baking sheet in a single layer. When oven is preheated place nuts in the oven for 10-15 minutes making sure they don't burn. When roasted remove from oven to cool. Once cooled soak them in water over night for at least 12 hours (see below).
Day 2 - Soaked Nuts:
-
Drain and rinse the soaking almonds. Then place the almonds, sunflower seeds, curry, lime zest & juice in a food processor. Start out with 1/4 of water and add up to a half cup depending on the smoothness of the nut cheese you want. Stop the food processor to taste and add salt and pepper.
-
Process until smooth and serve. Keep in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
