1-2 if you're hungry! Craving Saver! The fenugreek seeds give it the amazingly real pimento cheese texture. Eat on celery or a raw cracker or bread. My boyfriend couldn’t tell this wasn’t real cheese. He had it on sourdough. This isn’t a very good pic but he has lost about 20 lbs and you can see it in his face here..=)
Ingredients:
1 cup Cashews , soaked
½ Lemon, juiced
2 tablespoon fenugreek, sprouted
2 tablespoon onion, vidalia if possible
1 tablespoon tumeric
1 tablespoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon celery seed
½ red pepper or marinated red pepper
1 clove garlic (large) or 2 small
2 tablespoon sprouted garbanzo beans (optional)
Preparation:
Blend nuts first with lemon and dry spices. Add garlic.Pre cut red pepper and onion so it can be pulsed a little to add it in. Add fenugreek sprouts- 2 to 4 tablespoons.
Add a couple tablespoons of sprouted garbanzo beans if you have them. They have endorphin creating properties I’ve heard. (Happy juice!)
Also the fenugreek is good for the stomach and is said to be an aphrodesiac. =)
The tumeric is an anti-inflammatory- great for headaches.
This is really great with celery or anything you can think of. Try with other nuts or even all sprouted garbanzo beans. If the cheeze is too wet add a few dry nuts or a little dry nut meal.

this sounds really good - i would first try it with all garbanzo's and see how it comes out :) I love this non-raw version, so it's nice to find a raw version of it! Thanks!!!

I got the fenugreek seeds at whole foods here in Sarasota Fla in the sprouting section. They are also available in the spices section- primarily used in Indian cooking. I just bought them because they looked cool and then looked them up later. They have a kind of square seed that looks like a little pillow to me.

Great sounding recipe, write! Where do you get raw fenugreek seeds for sprouting?

Hi Omshanti and all.. Here is a link for fenugreek: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fenugreek It is quite amazing all of the health benefitting attributes it has. It has been used as far back as Egypt but all over the world and has recenly been studied for it's ability to combat diabetes, high blood pressure, and stomach ailments. I was a little freaked out when I first sprouted it because it smells so strongly of maple syrup. I thought it may have been treated with something. But that's normal. They were also really gooey like flax seeds at first. It says they have a bitter taste but they don't taste bitter to me. The ones I have are about 3 days old now- mostly tails no shoots. They do really nicely in salad dressing with garlic. I am thinking of more things to use them in so if anyone experiments with them let me know! The seeds can be roasted and used as a coffee substitute! Also it would be neat if someone came up with a syrup recipe with them, It seems like if you soaked them in agave or date water it would taste just like maple syrup- but I haven't tried that yet.
