Recipe Creamy Raw Cashew Nut Garlic Sauce

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

This is a recipe that we have used quite a lot and enjoy. It is adapted from a recipe from the NouveauRaw site for a creamy garlic dill sauce.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup raw cashews, soaked 2 hours (or overnight)
• 1/2 - 1 juice of a lemon
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 4 tbsp water
• 3 cloves garlic chopped

Preparation:

1. Place the cashews in a glass bowl, along with 4 cups of water and soak overnight ideally, otherwise for a minimum of 2 hours. You are looking for the cashew nuts to be soft to the centre to blend more easily.
2. Drain and rinse the cashew nuts and then place in the blender/liquidiser along with the rest of the ingredients and blend/liquidise until a creamy sauce is created. It helps to have something like a Vitamix or Omniblend here.
3. Taste to see if seasoning is needed and serve with pasta.
