OG recipe PaleoSpirit

This recipe was foundational to when I first changed my diet to plant based 15 or so years ago. I don’t like cream cheese, but I love artichokes and spinach. Cashew cream is a great alternative, and adds in protein.

Do I add a bit of cheese at the end? Fancy high quality cheese? Maybe. Maybe I like a little asiago mixed in. Maybe I added some from the block parmesan to it this batch, sure did (asiago is better in this I think, but don’t have any rn). I go heavy on crushed red pepper as well, add it at the beginning so it infuses with the olive oil.

I do like to have it served at the recipe suggests, with cucumber. When it’s warm and you have it with fresh cool cucumbers it’s so very good. One of my favorite foods here, even if it’s not much to look at. Something I don’t have to feel guilty about eating.

I devided it, one tray for later, and one tray to be baked for 25 minutes at 350°F and look how beautifully it browned!

I’ve heard about cashew butter making a decent cheese substitute. If I ever get back in to pizza-making, I’m definitely giving it a try.

This sounds great, in any case!
