Easy Nutty Cream Sauce


Easy Nutty Cream Sauce
Makes about 1 cup

2-3 cloves garlic
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1-2 tbs oil (coconut, vegetable or olive)
1/3 cup cashew butter (unroasted unsalted will have a neutral taste, and roasted will be more nutty)
1/2 - 1 cup vegetable stock (or water, add more salt if using water)to reach desired consistency
1 tbs nutritional yeast
Salt (or Braggs liquid aminos, or soy sauce)

Sautee garlic and onions in oil until tender. Add in cashew butter to melt and wisk in water until the mixture becomes very smooth. Stir in nutritional yeast and salt to taste. You can use peanut butter and sesame oil instead of cashew to make a peanut sauce, and serve with hot sauce. 

If you want really CHEESY creamy sauce, use Mad Faux Cheese instead of cashew butter! 
Serve over steamed veggies, baked or broiled tofu and noodles. Try zucchini noodles for extra health points!
