Not-So-Cheese Sauce

4/11/2013

0 Comments

 
This outstanding "cheese" sauce recipe comes from my Vitamix recipe book. It makes a delicious mac n "cheese" - try it with whole grain macaroni! It also makes a great "cheesy" broccoli (or other vegetables), vegetable dip, nachos, or "cheese" spread for bread or crackers. You can quickly whip this up in your Vitamix or blender.
Ingredients:
  • 1 C water
  • 1 Tbs lime juice (juice of one lime)
  • 1 large roasted red pepper, peeled (or ¼ C canned pimientos)
  • ½ C raw cashews
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ¼ C nutritional yeast
  • ½ tsp salt

Preparation:
  1. Place all ingredients into the Vitamix (or other blender) in the order listed and secure lid.
  2. Select the lowest speed variable (Vitamix variable 1)
  3. Press start and slowly increase speed to High
  4. Blend for 4 minutes or until heavy steam escapes from vented lid

Makes 2 ½ cups. 

Note: For an excellent variation, combine 1 part “Not-so-cheese” sauce with 1 part light coconut milk for a creamy, smooth, very slightly sweet sauce that’s delicious! You can spice it up by adding a little of your favorite salsa or hot sauce.
