Hemp curd, also known as hemp tofu or hemp cheese, is a dairy-free alternative made from hemp seeds and water. It is a nutritious and versatile plant-based ingredient that can be used in various dishes.
I like the Omelet with hemp curd – see the recipe in this portal.

Ingredients:

Number of portions: 2

1 Cup(s)

hemp seeds (hulled hemp hearts)

2-3 Cup(s)

water (adjust for desired consistency)

1-2 Tablespoon(s)

tablespoons lemon juice or apple cider vinegar

Acc. to taste

Salt and seasoning (optional)

Preparation:

Preparation time: <15 min.

In a blender or food processor, combine the hemp seeds and water. Blend until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
Pour the mixture into a saucepan and gently heat it over low to medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.
Once the mixture is heated, add lemon juice or apple cider vinegar. This will help curdle the hemp milk and give it a tangy flavor similar to traditional dairy curds.
Continue heating the mixture for a few more minutes until you see curds starting to form. Sometimes you don’t even need lemon to see curds forming.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the curdled mixture cool slightly.
Place a cheesecloth or nut milk bag over a bowl and pour the curdled mixture into it to strain out the liquid whey. Gently squeeze or press the curds to remove excess moisture.
Transfer the strained hemp curds to a clean container. Add salt and other seasonings, if desired, to enhance the flavor.
Allow the hemp curd to cool completely and refrigerate it for a few hours to firm up before using.
Hemp curd can be used as a dairy-free replacement in various recipes such as salads, sandwiches, dips, spreads, and more. You can also experiment with different seasonings and herbs to customize the flavor to your liking.
Please note that homemade hemp curd may have a slightly different texture and flavor from traditional tofu or dairy-based cheese. If you prefer a more commercial version, you may find pre-made hemp curd products in health food stores or online retailers.
