hi
I'm here with my second youtube guest
Ellie
who makes the world's best vegan
cheese
and we've got things super cool
to
you today December it is cold and
maybe
you're thinking what am I going to
make
the Christmas stuff and maybe
you're
thinking I'm gonna need a vegan
and
potatoes open wise hot and creamy
yeah
it's gonna be super rich and
amazing
okay and it looks really easy in
terms
of ingredients it's really easy
these
are all things you can just pick
up
and you're super me okay you might
even
have them in the cupboard at home
yo
you can whip it up without worrying
too
much okay brilliant potatoes onion
garlic
and then the cheesy bit so the
cheesy
bit is created using a cashew
base
to which we add some other
ingredients
which give that kind of
savory
cheese vibe without any dairy so
we're
using nutritional yeast yeah if
you
haven't used it before I would
normally
get mine on Amazon but you can
get
it placed at Holland abara
as
well yeah and it sounds a bit weird
but
it really doesn't add that cheesy
kind
of flavor we've used it in a few
things
before and I'm also just a note
please
X 1 foot for no more use it is
different
and it's an inactive e so it's
not
to do any kind of raising agent I
think
that's often a bit confusing that
it
is an inactive use it just has a
cheesy
flavour it looks a bit strange
but
it does look like fish views and
were
you using some mezzo which also
adds
that kind of umami like quality
flavor
and we're going to put some
garlic
in the sauce as well with some
salt
and pepper amazing and yeah okay
perfect
so what is step one so step one
is
we are going to put the kettle on to
boil
and then you want to measure out
your
cashews and put them in a bowl and
then
cover them with a boiling water
next
up you want slice your potatoes
we're
doing it using a mandolin which
allows
them to be really thin but if not
just
trying to carefully
with
a knife and then you want to put
these
all into another Bowl and also
cover
them with boiling water and put
them
to the side while they're very
soaking
you can slice your red onions so
again
we're using the mandolin to get
them
super thin but you could just use a
knife
and you also want to peel your
garlic
then drain your cashews and put
them
into a blender and into the blender
we're
going to add the peeled garlic
cloves
TSP of miso the nutritional yeast
salt
and the tapioca starch so it does
look
like a lot of nutritional yeast but
it's
a really key ingredient in this
dish
because we really want that cheesy
flavor
and although it is six
tablespoons
across the whole dish it's
not
actually that much once it's
distributed
and on top of all that pop
in
a stock cube as well we're just using
a
vegetable stock cube fill up the
blender
with water blitz it until it's
completely
creamy and smooth so once
you've
blended the cashews poured into a
jug
and top it off just so it's almost a
liter
or a bit over you want it to be
quite
a runny consistency it might look
a
bit watery but once it's bubble down
in
the oven it's going to get really
thick
and creamy so next you want to
drain
your sliced potatoes and then pop
them
on the side and we're ready to
assemble
the dish so to layer it up we
want
to put a layer of potatoes and then
sprinkle
over some of the red onions add
a
nice grind of black pepper and then
pour
over some of the creamy sauce so
keep
going layering up the potatoes
onion
black pepper and the creamy sauce
until
you've used up all your
ingredients
I let you I explain how
excited
I am about this okay I just feel
like
you can't be potatoes at this time
of
year everything comforting but also
like
I know lots
people
struggle with dairy if their may
do
more plant beans have more vegan
meals
that this is like so hearty and
indulgent
and like oh yeah and you'd
never
know it was vegan it's something
it's
so creamy it doesn't feel like it's
too
virtuous although it's got nothing
bad
in it so good and then could you do
this
it's like a full meal like it
always
like potatoes design your kind of
situation
absolutely so you could put in
some
kale as well in between the layers
just
layer it up as well and then it
would
look really cool as well it would
look
great and it would have that touch
of
green and then it would be a full
meal
and if you have people coming over
and
you wanted to make good use like
this
and then put it in the fridge and
pop
it in the oven a few hours later
yeah
absolutely it would be a bit colder
so
you might just want to add another 5
10
minutes onto the cookie okay and just
because
it will be chill yeah you could
also
it heats up really really well okay
you
can even cook it up ahead of time
yeah
and it's perfect for leftovers if
you
just have it in the fridge you can
just
cut out a section and awesomes it
up
okay so it's a dream basically
when
you're doing so much cooking of
traffic
examining look honestly who ever
wanted
to put your face one question I
know
people are gonna ask is could you
do
it with a sweet potato absolutely
yeah
if you were using a sweet potato
then
the one difference is that you
wouldn't
need to blanch them right once
the
potatoes here but because sweet
potatoes
are a bit softer you could just
skip
that step all together and just put
them
straight into the dish okay tada so
you
want to finish up on the top with a
layer
of potatoes and then on top of
that
you're going to sprinkle some
little
sprigs of rosemary and some black
pepper
and some salt now you want to pop
it
into a hot oven and bake it for 45
minutes
to an hour should be really hot
and
bubbling with a nice gold and crispy
top
I'm
going straight
I
could leave and you go because it's
only
potatoes and carrots and some
nutritional
yeast onions I think
inspired
my god
I'd
be so good with deliver everything
yeah
you have to make business
Christmastime
I think it's imperative
the
one thing I would say is make sure
you
have a good blender though so the
cashews
go really smooth and creamy
yeah
or just make sure you soak them for
longer
if you've got a slightly older
blender
keep it is always the best
crispy
bear on top I'm asleep easy like
it
literally I'm obsessing like you
bring
it
thank
you so and I'll put a link to any
social
media and stuff if you guys want
to
find out more about her amazing vegan
cheese
have a lovely day goes by
