Boursin
Ingredients
- 200 g or 1 cup raw cashew nuts (soaked for 6 to 8 hours)
- 200 g tofu
- ¼ – ½ cup water
- 1 tsp ground or finely minced garlic
- ½ tsp unrefined salt
- 1 cup finely chopped fresh herbs (basil/tarragon/parsley/dill/mint/spring onion greens/chives)
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- ¼ tsp freshly ground pepper (kali mirch)
Method
Drain and rinse the soaked cashew nuts and place them in a blender. Add ¼ cup water and grind until you get a reasonably smooth paste
Add the tofu, garlic and salt and blend to a thick but creamy spread. Transfer from the blender to a bowl. Add finely minced fresh herbs, ground pepper and fresh lemon juice and mix together. (Never put herbs in the blender/food processor or you will have a green cheese!)
Nutritional yeast flakes, if available, can be added for a cheesier taste.
