NO CHEESE SPREAD (From "May All be Fed" by John Robbins)

5 Tbs olive oil

1 small red pepper, seeded and coarsely chopped

1 1/2 cups raw cashews

1/4 cup raw sesame seeds

1/2 cup water

1/3 cup Nutritional Yeast flakes

1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

1/4 cup canola oil

1 Tbs Braggs Liquid Aminos

Heat 1 Tbs olive oil in frying pan over medium high heat. Add bell pepper and cook until tender. Transfer to blender. Add all remaining ingredients and blend until smooth. Will keep to a week in fridge. I think you could also make this without cooking the pepper, but just mixing all ingredients raw in the blender.

N.B. If you are not able to purchase Braggs Liquid Aminos at your health shop, you can use Tamari or a low salt soy sauce instead.
