Vegan Spicy Cashew Cheese

PREPARATION: Soak 1 cup of cashews in an airtight container overnight (or at least for 8 hours). If in a pinch, you can do this more quickly by soaking for 2 hours using boiling hot water. Drain the cashews before use. In a small saucepan, add veggie broth, chopped onion, and garlic. Cover and simmer until the vegetables are tender. Let the mixture cool completely. Add the cooled vegetable mixture to a blender with the drained cashews and remaining ingredients (nutritional yeast, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and Calabrian Chilis). Blend until completely smooth. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Store fresh in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 7 days.
