Ingredients

3/4 cup

1 tablespoon

2 tablespoons

2 tablespoons

2 tablespoons

4 teaspoons

1 large crushed

2 tablespoons chopped

4 tablespoons chopped

4 tablespoons chopped

300 grams Extra firm, crumbled

1/2 teaspoon


Directions

1. Blend the crumbled tofu, agar, water, tahini, nutritional yeast, sugar and salt in a food processor until very smooth.  Place the mixture in a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan and stir over medium heat until it bubbles for a few minutes and becomes thick. 2. Add the miso, lemon juice and crushed garlic to the cooked mixture. (Add these last because the lemon juice the acid may with the gelling of the agar if cooked with it.)  Blend briefly, then add the green onions.  Pulse briefly. 3. Have ready a 1 and 1/2-cup-capacity storage container, preferably one 2 or 3 times longer than it is wide, lined with plastic wrap which extends over all sides. 4. Scrape the hot mixture into the prepared container.  Refrigerate for about 15 to 30 minutes, or until it starts to firm up.  Meanwhile, mix your coating ingredients in a clean food processor or mini-chopper and spread them on a piece of plastic wrap on your work surface. 5. Working quickly and using the plastic wrap to help, unmold the cheese onto another piece of plastic wrap, roll it up in the wrap and press and shape in a log. Unwrap the log and gently roll the log in the coating mixture, coating all over (press the coating on with your fingers if some spots are missed), then roll up again in the plastic wrap, twist-tie the ends and place back in your container.  Your log can be a roll, or you can square up the sides as in my photo. 7. Refrigerate several hours until firm. Unwrap carefully from the plastic wrap onto a serving plate. Slice and serve with whole grain crackers, crusty bread, pumpernickel slices, etc. Recipe Source: http://veganfeastkitchen.blogspot.ca/2012/02/herb-and-nut-encrusted-vegan-cheese-log.html
