"Parmesan Cheese"
Did you know when you finely chop certain nuts - particularly Brazil nuts, cashews, and macadamia nuts - that they resemble and taste a lot like Parmesan cheese? Although devoted vegans have known this trick for years, this information may be new to you. However, once you sprinkle this "Parmesan Cheese" on your favorite Daniel Fast dishes, you will be pleasantly surprised at how good it tastes.
Ingredients
- 1 cup lightly-salted cashew halves and pieces
Instructions

Notes
- If using raw cashews, add 1/4-1/2 teaspoon salt to cashews before chopping in food processor or blender.

- Serve with Black Bean Minestrone, Spinach-Artichoke-Tomato Soup, or Tuscan Soup.
- Sprinkle over Mega Greek Salad.
- Use as a topping for Antipasto Pizza Pie or South of the Border Pizza.
Your recipes saved the day for my husband and i.we had never fasted before and were caught at a suprise when it came time to fast. We were unprepared to saythe least. But i found your web site and thanked God for it. Because of your site and recipes we have successfully made through the fast. Well with God and your recipes. Thank you so much we appreciateyou and your site so much. God bless you.
Thanks so much, Melinda. I’m glad God led you here and that He used the information to help you with your fast. May the Lord continue to bless you as you press on to know Him!
Will this store for some time? Air tight container? Fridge or cupboard? I am going to make some and add a bit of nutritional yeast too.
Yes, it will keep for several weeks. However, I recommend storing it in an air-tight glass container in the fridge because chopped nuts will go rancid much quicker than whole, raw ones.
Thanks, Kristen. I whipped some up and it is wonderful. I added the garlic and about a tsp of nutritional yeast…perfect!
You’re welcome. I’m so glad you like it!
