How to Make Vegetarian Parmazano Cheese
- Blanch 1 cup of whole almonds: Place almonds in a saucepan and cover with enough water to completely submerge them.
- Bring the water to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 1-2 minutes.
- Drain the almonds immediately and rinse under cold water until completely cool. This stops the cooking process and makes peeling easier.
- Peel the almonds: Gently pinch the skin at the base of each almond; the skins should slip off easily.
- Add the peeled almonds, 1/2 cup nutritional yeast, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt to a food processor.
- Process until the mixture is finely ground and resembles a coarse powder, scraping down the sides as needed (this may take several minutes).
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more lemon juice for tanginess, salt for saltiness, or nutritional yeast for a cheesier flavor.
- Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
