Directions: |
Directions:Blend the dates in one cup of the water until smooth. (I like to use the food processor so it’s almost a puree.)
Place all remaining ingredients in an electric pressure cooker and cook on high for 10 minutes. Alternatively, place all ingredients in a slow cooker (with 6 cups water) and cook on low for 8 hours.
Sprinkle with chopped scallions and serve with baked tortilla chips or over a baked potato.
Faux Parmesan: In a food processor fitted with the “S” blade or in a blender, combine all ingredients until a powdery texture is achieved. If you like it chunkier, process less. |
