Ingredients:

  • 1 cup raw, unsalted cashews
  • 1/2 - 1 cup Magic Mineral Broth or organic vegetable broth
  • 1/2 tsp. sea salt

Optional: Add a pinch of nutmeg and 1 tsp. lime or lemon juice

Procedure:

  1. Put ingredients in a blender and blend together until creamy.
    Add more or less broth until sauce is desired consistency.
  2. If serving with a hot dish, put sauce in a saucepan, bring to a simmer,
    and heat slowly, stirring constantly.

Serving suggestions:

Stir into non-dairy soups, to make creamy and increase fat and protein. Spoon over rice or pasta.
