Lemon myrtle is the queen of lemon herbs and undoubtedly one of the most well-known and widely used Australian bush superfoods. Having been used in Indigenous Australian cultures for centuries for its nutritional and healing benefits, here Thomas and Lily have blended it with dill and cashews for a yummy dairy-free cheese!  

Servings: 8
Preparation: 50 mins

Ingredients

  • 2 cups raw cashews, soaked for at least 30 minutes.
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped.
  • 1 teaspoon dried lemon myrtle.
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast.
  • 1 teaspoon miso paste.
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar.
  • Sea salt and pepper.
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped, plus extra for garnish.

Directions
