Vegan Parmesan Cheese

I've tried a number of different vegan parmesan cheeses and have yet to find one that I really like until now. Some of the ones I have tried have been recipes to make yourself which were alright yet far better than the ones you purchase which will usually sit in the refrigerator forever and finally get thrown. Here is another homemade one that is as tasty as it is easy.

1/2 cup shelled pistachio nuts

1/2 cup nutritional yeast flakes

Salt to taste (approximately 1 tsp.)

Put all the above in a food processor and whiz until flaky. 

(If parmesan has to be white you might not be completely happy with the look of this parmesan which has a golden, earthier tone but if you will give it a try I think you will like the taste. The pistachios add the color but they are also the source of the rich, creamy flavor that lends so well to this parmesan "wanna-be".

Next week I'll show you a delicious dish using this vegan parmesan recipe.  See you then!
