Chive Cheeze Puffs

chivecheeze

2 cups macadamia nuts (soak for 2 days rinsing every 8-12 hours)
2 cloves garlic
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon raw Celtic salt
Fresh chives to taste (1/4 cup+)

  1. Add all ingredients, except chives, to Vitamix blender. Using the tamper, slowly increase the speed to maximum. Stop every few minutes to scrape down the sides. Continue until creamy, smooth and slightly warm.
  2. Add chives and pulse blend until incorporated. Do not completely blend as an undesirable flavor will result.
  3. Using a small ice cream scoop, place scoop fulls of the cheeze onto teflex sheets. Use the outside of the scoop to press cups into the cheeze and dehydrate at 110o for 8-10 hours. Remove from teflex, place on mesh, and continue to dehydrate for 12+ hours until they are crispy on the outside and as dry as possible on the inside.
  4. Store refrigerated in airtight container for months. Keeps well in baggies for traveling. These can be used very creatively. Stuff with pate, use as an hors d’oeuvre, use as a protein snack after a workout, the list can go on!
