Vegan mozzarella

Method

1. 1.First soak the cashews overnight or boil them in boiling water for 10 minutes. Drain and rinse them.
2. 2.Add all the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Taste the mixture and add more salt if needed.
3. 3.Transfer to a saucepan and cook for 4-5 minutes, whisking constantly (first over high heat, then once the mixture starts to boil, reduce to medium heat).
4. 4.Once the mixture thickens, swap the whisk for a wooden spoon and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. The mixture will start to cling together into a ball. Turn off the heat and let it cool slightly.
5. 5.At this point you can use the mozzarella straight away – for a sauce, a spread or on a pizza. If you don't want to use it right away, transfer it to any container or wrap it in cling film and put it in the fridge for a few hours.
6. 6.In the fridge the mixture will firm up further and become like a real little cheese.
