No! I didn't go back on my commitment to Vegan living. This nacho sauce doesn't have any animal product in it whatsoever. I found a couple recipes on Pinterest and though I was skeptical, I just had to give it a try. Utilizing a combination of Lori's Recipe and Lexie's Recipe I whipped up a batch of some lovely creamy and surprisingly finger-licking good faux cheese sauce- so healthy for you, you can make it your entire meal. I didn't realize until after I was done that I never added any olive oil. Not sure if I missed it or not! I thought it was fine without it.
It served up perfectly with my homemade pickled peppers from last summers bumper crop!
Here is the combination recipe I used:
Lori & Lexie's Combo Nacho Sauce
1/4 cup cashew meal mixed with 1/4 cup very hot water (set aside)
1 cup of each, diced: white potatoes (I used butter gold), carrots, cauliflower (Steam together until tender, save liquid)
1/3 cup diced red bell pepper
1/3 cup nutritional yeast
1 Tbs. Fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp granulated onion
1/2 tsp granulated garlic
1/4 tsp turmeric
1. While cashew meal is soaking, chop veggies and put on stove to steam.
2. Put cashew mix in high-powered blender (I use a Vita Mix) then remainder ingredients.
3. Now add the drained steamed veggies and blend until smooth. If too thick, add a little of the steam water from the veggies until desired consistency.
Optional: Hot peppers for garnish
