Equipment

  • Blender
  • Saucepan

Ingredients

  • 1 Cup cashew nuts
  • 2 Cup water
  • ¼ Cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • ½ teaspoon black peppercorns
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • Boil water in a saucepan with a pinch of salt. Once the water starts boiling, add cashew and cook for 5 - 6 minutes. Turn off the heat. Transfer cashews to a colander and rinse with cold water.
  • Blend together cashew, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper to a smooth paste.
  • Creamy Cashew Sauce is ready to use. Store it in the refrigerator for 1 week in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Cashew Sauce has a smooth and creamy consistency. Use more olive oil if required to get the desired consistency. 
  • Avoid using water to grind the cashews. It reduces the shelf life of the sauce as it spoils very fast.
