Kimchi Cheese Sauce

I ran across this recipe and as strange as it sounded, I decided to give it a try. So glad I did. It was freaking amazing!!! It’s a zippy non-dairy cheese sauce that would be great on just about anything. So far, I’ve tried it on bean pasta for a great mac and cheese version, on vegetables, and even cold spread on crackers and sandwiches.

1 cup raw cashews

3/4 cup diced carrot

1/2 cup kimchi with brine ( can sub sauerkraut if you don’t like spicy)

3 tbsp. nutritional yeast

2 tbsp. arrowroot flour (can sub tapioca starch)

1/2 tsp. onion powder

1/2 tsp. salt

Combine carrots and cashews in a small sauce pan. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Drain and transfer to your blender. Add 1 cup water, kimchi, nutritional yeast, arrowroot, onion powder and salt. Blend until smooth. Let mixture rest in the blender for 5 minutes, then blend again. Store in the fridge for up to 7 days. Can also be frozen, but you’ll want to re-blend it after it thaws before heating.
