PIMENTO CHEESE 
4 tbsp. agar flakes
1 c. water
3/4 c. cashews, raw
2 tbsp. sesame seeds (optional)
3 tbsp. yeast flakes
2-3 canned pimentos
1 1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. onion powder
Dash of garlic powder
Dash of dill (optional)
1/4 c. lemon juice

Soak the first 2 ingredients for 5 minutes and then boil until clear. Whiz in blender, remaining ingredients, except lemon juice, with agar and water mixture. While blending add 1/2 cup oil slowly. Stir in 1/4 cup lemon juice. Put in mold and chill.

To make a cheese sauce, leave out the agar flakes. For very thick cheese sauce or cheese-like spread, use a little more cashews. Blender makes it real smooth.
