Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large English cucumber
- 2 medium Carrots
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Liquid smoke
- 1 teaspoon Maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Cashews
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Chives
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
Soak the cashews in hot water for at least 30 minutes to soften them.
Meanwhile, peel the carrots into long, thin strips using a vegetable peeler.
In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, liquid smoke, maple syrup, and lemon juice to create the marinade.
Add the carrot strips to the marinade and let them sit for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Drain and rinse the soaked cashews, then add them to a food processor along with nutritional yeast, garlic powder, chives, salt, and water. Blend until smooth and creamy to make the cashew cream cheese.
Cut the ends off the cucumber and slice it lengthwise into thin strips using a mandoline or vegetable peeler.
Spread a thin layer of the cashew cream cheese onto each cucumber strip.
Place a couple of marinated carrot strips on top of the cashew cream spread at one end.
Gently roll up the cucumber strips around the filling.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
