Mmm Sauce

*makes 24 servings (tablespoons) 

Ingredients

1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup almonds
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
2  1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon mince garlic
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon cilantro
1 teaspoon sriracha sauce (optional)
1 teaspoon dill

Directions

  1. In a blender/magic bullet, combine oil, almonds, water and chickpeas. Blend until smooth, but the almonds have still a little bit of presence.
  2. Add the rest of the ingredients and blend to desired texture.

I really like this recipe rubbed into kale leaves, but it can be used as a general sauce for anything really. It has a cheesy flavour, and a little heat if you opted for the sriracha. I make 4 batches at once, because I can't get enough! This recipe can also be a great base - just add other spices/flavors as you want!

Side note: I wish I had a better name for this recipe.
