Cauliflower Salad |
 |
Inspired by Sergei and Valya Boutenko, and Amy Donato
The contrasting colors of the white cauliflower and green onions make this salad visually appealing.
1 head cauliflower
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 bunch green onions
1 bunch cilantro
1/4 cup to 1/2 cup Parma!, either flavor, to taste
Chop the veggies into a bowl then mix them with the rest of the ingredients. Serves 3-5. Nice to serve with sliced tomato and Kalamata olives. Delicious…

Fettucini Alfredo |
 |
By Shannon
Zuchini -- spiralize it or grate it or take a wide grater and make long thin strips
Cashews
1/2 lemon or a little less
1 -- 3.5oz. bottle of Parma!
The amount you use depends on how many people you are feeding and how thick you want your sauce. I used 3 zuchini,
2 cups cashews, just under 2 cups water, just under 1/2 lemon, and one 3.5 oz. bottle of Parma! for a pot luck dish.
To make the cheese, blend cashews with 1 to 2 cups water depending on how thick you want your sauce. After that is well
blended, blend in the Parma!
Gently mix the cheese and zuchini in a big bowl. Transfer to your seving bowl. Sprinkle a little Parma! on top and decorate with
some basil.
Optional: add italian herbs.
If you are making wide thin zuchini strips, lay the strip out, put a dollup of cheese on top, then roll it up.

Cheesy Straws |
 |
By Hannah Kaminsky http://www.bittersweetblog.wordpress.com
1/4 Cup Margarine
1/2 Cup Chipotle Cayenne Parma
1/2 Cup Garbanzo Flour
1/4 Teaspoon Salt
Pinch Sweet Paprika
3 Tablespoons Plain Soymilk
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees, and line a baking sheet with either parchment paper or a silpat.
In your stand mixer, beat the margarine briefly by itself, just to soften it a bit. Add in the Parma and
cream thoroughly, until completely smooth. Sift in the garbanzo flour, salt, and paprika all together,
and mix again. Drizzle in the soymilk 1 tablespoon at a time while the mixer is running on its slowest speed,
until it comes together into a very soft dough, almost like cookie batter. Transfer this into a piping bag
with a star tip, and pipe out 3-inch long lines onto your prepared sheets. If you don’t have a piping bag,
you can also use two spoons to make mounds, much like you would for drop cookies.
Bake for 15 - 18 minutes or until lightly browned. Let the straws cool completely on wire racks,
and store in an airtight container.
Excellent for serving alongside a selection of dips at a party or just late-night snacking, these crunchy
straws are a whole lot of fun to eat. Feel free to add in whatever herbs you like, or any variety of spices
you have on hand. They’re incredibly versatile and can suit all tastes and occasions with just a few small tweaks.
