Italian-Style Magic Sprinkles
I
remember the first time I heard about nutritional yeast. It was back in
college and I had a friend who worked at a health foods store. She was
telling me how delicious popcorn was with yeast sprinkled on it. I was
by then someone who baked bread and I thought she was referring to
active dry yeast. How on earth would anyone want to eat that? Years
later, when I was a vegan, I was in possession of my first vegan cheese
recipe along with an ingredients list and I finally put two and two
together. This was an entirely different kind of yeast.
Nutritional yeast, or nooch, imparts a kind of cheesy flavor to recipes
and it is especially reminiscent of Parmesan. Some people absolutely
hate the stuff and I can understand that. It is a “love it or hate it”
kind of item. I personally am in the “love it” camp and if you are as
well, I think you’ll enjoy this recipe.
A little parm-y, a little nutty, the Italian-Style Magic Sprinkles
are tasty sprinkled on anything but especially pasta or lasagna. This
can also be used in breading, much like how someone would use Parmesan.
All you need is a food processor. This can be stored in an airtight
container in the refrigerator for up to three weeks.
Italian-Style Magic Sprinkles
1 cup walnuts, whole or in pieces
½ cup ground almonds
1 cup nutritional yeast
1 tablespoon chickpea miso or light miso of preference
2 teaspoons dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon garlic granules
1 teaspoon fennel seed
1 teaspoon rosemary
½ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon cayenne powder (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
In
a food processor, tap the walnuts, ground almonds and nutritional yeast
on pulse until uniformly mixed with a little texture. Add the other
ingredients and pulse together until fully mixed. Sprinkle as you like
- on pastas, salads, casseroles, popcorn and more - and store in the
fridge in a covered container.
