It thickened up BEAUTIFULLY and not at all grainy, so if anyone else is also burdened with inferior equipment, making the sauce this way is pretty simple! I used 2Tbsp Earth Balance and 2Tbsp olive oil (because I ran out of Earth Balance) and 6Tbsp flour to make the roux, then added the pulverized onion and garlic, chilis, seasoning, and 1 cup cashew milk and the broth. Today, I made a roux to thicken the sauce, and it came out PERFECT. I used a full cup of cashew milk and the full amount of broth called for in the recipe. The second time I tried using cashew milk instead of cashews, and that worked a little better, but the sauce wouldn’t thicken up very well at all. The closest thing I have that grinds fine enough is the coffee grinder, and I’m not gonna use that on an entire cup of cashews.
So the first time I made it, I forgot the broth, but I also discovered that neither my food processor nor my blender has the power needed to truly liquefy cashews. Today marks my third time making this, and I think I finally have it right! Your website has been a game-changer for me I’m even going to bring some of your recipes to share at my first Thanksgiving dinner as a vegan! Thanks for everything you do!! This time I’m coming at it with different motivation and doing a lot more cooking at home (marrying a man who loves to cook has also helped!). This is my 2nd attempt at going vegan - the first time I relied way too much on processed meat/dairy alternatives and it got cost prohibitive.
But he did comment on how surprised he was with the “cheesy” flavor and consistency! Either way, it’s definitely going in our regular dinner rotation!Įven my non-vegan husband enjoyed it! Though after the first few bites he added some shredded cheese on top of his. I made this for dinner last night and it was great! My sauce didn’t turn out quite as creamy as yours looks in the pictures either a result from my blender not liquefying the cashews enough (it was still a little grainy), or I may have just needed to heat it longer on the stove to let it thicken up more.
