Fresh tomatoes, basil and cashew cheese make up this twist on the traditional margherita pizza.
It’s a pizza party at #SundaySupper this week! In celebration of national pizza month we are sharing our favorite pizza or pizza inspired recipes. I don’t know of many people that don’t like pizza so I’m sure we are going to be in for a treat this week. Marghareta pizza is one of my favorite types of pizza. It’s full of fresh flavors from the tomatoes, basil and melt-y mozzarella cheese. I had a few sprigs of basil and tomatoes left from my garden which inspired me to make a marghareta pizza for this #SundaySupper. But I decided to change it up and use cashew cheese, rather than fresh mozzarella cheese.
Cashew cheese is made by soaking cashews overnight and blending them with nutritional yeast, water, garlic, tamari sauce. It tastes very similar to Parmesan cheese, but it lacks a cheesy texture. That is until recently when I found the secret — tapioca flour. Add a little bit of at the end of blending, and heat the mixture quickly for a pan of cheesy goodness.
If you aren’t feeling the cashew cheese, you can always substitute fresh mozzarella cheese. Serve with a side salad and enjoy!
