Gold Sauce

You can use this to dip steamed vegetables.
As a main course that is super fast, I cut up raw vegetables, pour the sauce over--cover with a glass plate and put in the microwave for 4 minutes. The vegetables steam and you have Indian Vegetable Entree.


Put into a strong blender:

2/3 c. water
1 c white beans or chick peas (canned is fine)
2 Tbl  cashews(I assume another nut would work also)
2 tsp. honey or maple syrup
4 small cloves garlic
2 TBL lemon juice
2 TBL nutritional yeast

1 tsp curry
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp salt
dash of red pepper flakes
