Almond 'Feta' Cheese Recipe.

Ingredients:

2 Cups Blanched Almonds (Soaked Overnight)
1 Cup Juice from a Bag of Sauerkraut
1/2 TSP Salt
2/3 Cup Water
2 TBSP Agar Powder

Recipe Instructions:

In a bowl of a food processor, add the drained almonds, sauerkraut juice and salt, blend for 1-2 minutes until smooth and no longer grainy.
Pour mixture into a container with a tight-fitting airtight lid and leave on the kitchen counter for 1-2 days to allow the culture to develop.
Taste each day until it begins to taste 'tangy'.
Once the cheese tastes tangy, line a 8x8 pan with cheesecloth.
In a medium saucepan, combine the water and agar powder and while heating over medium heat, whisk well.
Cover the pan with a lid and bring to a simmer over low heat, when agar mixture has dissolved fully, pour this mixture into the almond mixture and whisk until fully combined.
Pour the mixture into the cheesecloth lined pan and place into the refrigerator for 4 hours until firm.
In a large glass bowl, combine 6 cups of water and 3/4 cup of salt until the salt has dissolved.
Cut the cheese into 4 pieces and place it into the brine mixture, cover and allow to sit for 8 hours at room temperature.
Transfer the cheese to a container with a tight-fitting lid and pour over enough liquid to half cover the cheese, adding more cold water to fully cover the cheese and dilute the brine mixture.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
