Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cashews
- 1/2 cup vegetable broth
- 2 Tbsp. Earth Balance
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2-4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 28-oz. can whole peeled tomatoes
- 1/3 cup nutritional yeast
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Preparation
Step 1
In a food processor, blend together your cashews and vegetable broth until smooth. Pour into a separate container and set aside.
In a medium sauce pan, over medium heat, melt the Earth Balance. Add the onions and sauté for about 2 to 3 minutes. As they begin to become fragrant, add in the garlic and sauté until your onions are soft and translucent, stirring so as not to burn. Add in your tomatoes, including any liquid in the can. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
Remove from the heat and let cool for a few minutes before pouring into your food processor. Blend until combined and not chunky. Add in the nutritional yeast and pulse to combine. Add in the cashew mixture and blend until very smooth. Season with salt and pepper to your liking and pulse a few times.
