Chef Michael Symon came up with this Parmesan cheese substitute once his health needs called for avoiding dairy—and it's simply delicious.
"I'm not going to claim that this stuff tastes exactly like real Parmigiano-Reggiano," Michael says. "Because there's only one thing in the world that tastes like it—and that's real Parmigiano-Reggiano! But if you have to avoid dairy in your diet and you still want to add a nutty, savory, salty, and 'cheesy' flavor to food, this nut-based vegan alternative is amazing. It is so easy to make that I always have a double or triple recipe stashed in my fridge, where it will last for weeks."
