Hi friends! How are you? Hope you are all doing great! Today’s recipe is based on traditional greek recipe called tirokafteri (spicy hot cheese). The original recipe is basically a feta cheese spread with hot peppers. This veganised recipe is made of almonds and cashews. The result is just perfect and nobody will realise that it is vegan! Perfect as a side dish (just sprinkle some olive oil on top), great as a spread in your sandwich or with some nachos!
