Microwave power Level 6
for 4 mins or 400 oven for 15 to 20 mins
3 Cups (enough for two
party buffet bowls)
1 Can (15 Ounce) Organic
Butternut Squash or Pumpkin Puree (Or 2 Cups Cooked & Mashed Butternut
Squash or Pumpkin)
1/4 Cup Fresh Lemon
Juice
1 Tbs Cider Vinegar
1/3 Cup Nutritional
Yeast
2 Tsp Dijon Mustard (Or
Hot Chinese Mustard)
1/4 Tsp Turmeric
1/4 Tsp Onion Powder
1/4 Tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 Tsp Sea Salt
1/2 Cup Tahini (Or
Sunflower, Almond or Cashew Butter)
(Opt) 1 Tbs EVOO
(Opt) 1/4 Tsp Chili
flakes or Hot Sauce
Garnish: Sesame seeds,
Paprika, Chili powder, EVOO
Combine all in a mixing
bowl and use a potato masher to stir it all together. You can do it all in the food processor too if you wish, but
when using pureed butternut squash it really isn’t necessary. Spoon into serving dishes that fit
nicely in Ready.Chef.GO! bags, seal and microwave on power 6 for 4 mins. The bag fluffs and steams the whiz for
a superb texture. When you see a
little bit of golden brown around the edges, it’s done.
The idea is not to
recreate the exact flavor or texture of Cheez Whiz, but to tingle the taste
buds with an unctuous warm dip and spread loaded w/ umami flavors. I like the strong flavor of tahini
here, but you can substitute other nut butters as you wish for a slightly
sweeter taste. You’ll find organic
tahini now in most grocery stores, Whole Foods & Trader Joes. Thin the Whiz out w/ non dairy milk or
brewed green tea for a wonderful vegan cheez sauce for veggies or vegan Philly
cheez steak sammies.
REHEATING
INSTRUCTIONS: Microwave at power
level 6 for 4 mins or heat in a 400 oven for 15 to 20 mins until just golden
brown on the edges & fluffed in the center. Let rest for 2 mins before opening the bag.
NOTE: Ready.Chef.GO! bags allow for excellent
texture in the microwave & fast high heat cooking in the oven. The results are always succulent &
tender. You’ll taste the
difference.
Serve with a wide
variety of dippers (cucumbers, dragon fruit, sweet peppers, cherry tomatoes,
carrots, etc.) crackers & flat breads.
