CASHEW CHEESE SAUCE
Recipe from "Seven Secrets Cookbook," by Neva & Jim Brackett
1 cup raw cashew nuts
2 cups water or Non-Dairy Milk
1/2 large or 1 small red bell pepper (or 1/4 cup canned pimentos or red peppers)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt (optional)
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 tablespoons food yeast flakes [Nutritional Yeast]
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Blend smooth (about 2 minutes) and then bring to a boil, stirring until thick.
(I usually double this recipe, cook in crockpot [easier] until thick,
and freeze in serving size containers.)
