4-8 Yummy People! Satisfies a craving for macaroni and cheese. The base is like a lot of recipes on this site but I hadn’t tried this yet. I hope it inspires you too!
Ingredients:
3 zucchini, peeled, cut in half the long way and sliced
1 red, orange or yellow pepper, deseeded
1 cup raw cashews (soaked for 2 hours if possible- or over night)
sprinkle sea salt
sprinkle cayenne
sprinkle pepper
1 tablespoon flax meal (optional)
sprinkle onion and garlic powder or hing
1 lemon juiced
½ onion
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
sprinkle paprica
sprinkle tumeric
Preparation:
For this you can either dehydrate the zuchini beforehand or eat fresh. Cut the zuchini rounds in thirds. If dehydrating, coat with a little olive oil and salt and dehydrate for appx 6 hours. If fresh cut the thirds in half and salt and set aside.
Add everything together and blend. I blended the cashews and lemon first and then added half a yellow pepper and 1\3 red pepper. I didn’t have to add water but you may want to to make it thinner. I added a little pepper flavored olive oil- but this is optional.
Mix the cheese when it’s done with the zuchini. Enjoy!

Hi Trinity! Actually it's hard to say but the cashews with the lemon and peppers are the primary flavors. I really like the cayenne, tumeric, and garlic flavors as well. A little celery seed is good too. A little sundried tomato could be added but I was nervous that it wouldn't get as smooth as the ingredients I had going already. The pic is with a whole zuchini in that scoop. The pieces were dehydrated about 6 hours on 120.I also blended in a vidalia onion which makes it a little sweet.

I just finished making this - was running low on cashews, so I tossed in some pistachios to supplement. So very tasty! I'd make this for the die-hard mac & cheese addicts at work.
