Creamed Cauliflower
This quick and easy vegan creamed cauliflower recipe from the The China Study Cookbook is delicious. I make the sauce at least once a week and slather it on all types of veggies :) Recipe republished with permission by BenBella Books.
Sometimes I also add 1/2 tsp of liquid smoke to the creamed cauliflower sauce to create a subtle smoky, cheesy undertone and top with fresh English peas. The sauce is so creamy, your guests will never guess it’s vegan. I really do love this recipe :) Thanks China Study Cookbook!
Chef’s notes:
- If you find that the sauce is too thick, add a small amount of water, one teaspoon at a time. A little water goes a long way.
- If you don’t have a high-speed blender like a Blend-tec or a Vita-mix, soak the cashews for 4 hours and then discard the soak water. Soaked cashews will blend easily even in a regular blender.
