Ingredients
  • Cheese Sauce:
  • 1 Cup Veggie Broth
  • 1 Cup Pistachios (Soaked or Boiled, see below)
  • 3 Tbsp Nutritional Yeast
  • 1 Tbsp Miso Paste
  • 1 Clove Garlic (Peeled and Chopped)
  • Grits:
  • 1 Cup Dry Grits (Or polenta)
  • 3 Cups Veggie Broth
  • 1 Clove Garlic (Peeled and Minced)
  • 5 Shallots (Peeled and Sliced Thin)
  • 3 Medium Carrots (Peeled and Chopped)
  • 1 Sliceable Vegan Cheese Recipe (cubed)
  • Vegan Parmesan
  • Pea shoots (or another green can also be used)
Instructions
  1. Soak the pistachios overnight. Be sure to completely submerge them in water. However, if you do not have time to soak the nuts, they can also be boiled for 10 minutes over med-high heat.
  2. Prepare the fresh vegetables as directed above.
  3. Drain the nuts and place them into a high speed blender along with the rest of the cheese sauce ingredients (see above). Blend until very smooth and set aside.
  4. In a deep frying pan coated with a little oil, sauté the shallots, garlic and carrots over med-high heat for 3-5 minutes or until the carrots are tender. Season with salt and black pepper and set aside.
  5. In the same frying pan, bring 3 cups of broth to a boil, then add the grits immediately. Stir constantly until the broth has absorbed.
  6. Next, remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of pistachio cheese sauce as well as about half of the cubed sliceable cheese recipe or as much as desired.
  7. Portion into bowls and top with the carrot mixture, pea shoots, and vegan Parmesan.
  8. Serve immediately while warm and ENJOY!
