DIRECTIONS
- Soak the cashews overnight in just enough water to completely cover them. The next day, drain and rinse the cashews, then set aside.
- In a medium sauté pan, sauté the onions in the 1 tablespoon of oil until translucent and tender, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Place the soaked cashews, sautéed onions, miso, lemon juice, minced garlic and water into a blender and process until smooth.
- Mix in the chopped artichokes, and nutritional yeast, salt and pepper, to taste.
- In the meantime, preheat broilier to high.
- Brush the baguette slices with a light layer of olive oil and broil for 2-4 minutes, watching closely to not burn.
- Top each toasted slice with 1 tbsp of the cheezy artichoke spread then sprinkle with chives.
