Savory Vegan Cashew Cream Sauce

Tip: click step to get into cook mode

2 cups cashews, soaked, see directions below

1 ½ cups water

1 clove garlic, minced

½ Teaspoon sea salt

¼ Teaspoon black pepper

To soak cashews for this sauce, place 2 cups of cashews into a 4 cup/ 32 ounce mason jar and cover with 2 cups of water. Leave the jar on the counter at room temperature to soak for at least 4 hours. I leave mine to soak during the work day, and use them at dinner time.
When you’re ready to use your cashews, drain off the soaking liquid and rinse them well.
Place the drained cashews into a high powered blender with the rest of the ingredients.
Secure the lid and blend until completely smooth.
Use the cashew cream right away, or within 3-4 days.
