Umami Miso Spread

This is a delicious sandwich spread we use in our house all the time, it’s that satisfying and good. I adapted it from Betsy DeJulio and she graciously let me share it with you.

2 cups raw, unsalted cashews, soaked for several hours or overnight and drained

1/2 cup white miso

1/4 cup nutritional yeast flakes

1 teaspoon granulated onion

1 teaspoon granulated garlic

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon dried mustard powder

About 1/2 cup white wine or beer, or as needed to make mixture blend.

A squirt of Sriracha sauce, optional

1.        In a food processor or high powdered blender, add all of the ingredients and blend until smooth.

2.        You will need to stop and scrape down the sides of the machine periodically.

3.        Add just enough of the wine or beer so that the mixture blends.

4.        You don’t want it runny. It’s supposed to be a fairly thick spread.

NOTES

This spread will keep, refrigerated, for several weeks.
