Vegan Mozzarella? Moxarella!

Die deutsche Übersetzung findet ihr unter dem englischen Rezept!

 

When Mr. Squirrel first made this moxarella, I wasn't home and couldn't quite understand the excitement he transported via facebook. Then I came home and had to agree. This moxarella is amazing! It might look a bit intimidating at first, but... it's not. :) You will need a bit of time, though, as you need to soak the cashews and you'll need about 24h to let the yoghurt bacteria do their thing.

This make quite a bit of mozzarella/moxarella, but stored in salted water, it has survived about a week in our fridge. We don't really have any test result for the time afterwards because we ate up every last bit.

Mr. Squirrel didn't just make this up, he based the recipe on this one by Miyoko Schinner.

Firstly, I would like to mention that you can easily cook awesome vegan food without using soy, seitan, and all these other things. The main ingredient in my kitchen will alwaysdesc be vegetables, fruits, legumes, nuts, etc. There is nothing wrong with tofu etc., but in my kitchen vegan cooking does not have to mean that I copy conventional recipes and replace meat with tofu. I do that sometimes, because I used to enjoy eating meat. I do not think that there is anything wrong with the taste of it, I just no longer see the necessity to use meat/dairy/eggs in order to get a great meal.

So. The main ingredient that should be available anywhere near you is this:
