vegan sauce

Vegan sour cream, made in less than 5 minutes with just 5 ingredients. It’s tangy and so creamy, perfect to enjoy with Mexican-inspired dishes.

Vegan Sour Cream

(150 g),

cup water (125 ml)

tbsp lemon juice

tbsp nutritional yeast (optional)

tsp salt

Soak the cashews overnight. If you’re in a hurry, soak them in hot water for at least 1 hour.

Drain the cashews, discard the water, add all the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.

Serve immediately or keep leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for 3-5 days or in the freezer for up to 6 months.

Hi Iosune,

Thanks for a yet another awesome recipe! I visit your blog frequently and have thoroughly enjoyed many of the dishes!

This one in particular is super easy to make and practically one step away from the vegan parmesan cheese, and yet the result is so different! Though, when you think about it, ideal prep time takes way longer than the indicated 5 minutes, since it is best to soak the cashew for 12 hours, i.e. it's impossible to have it ready in literally five minutes, you need to prepare in advance.

All the  best and hope you enjoy the upcoming holidays!

So glad you're posting this. When you first posted your magical cauliflower sauce, I would make cashew "cream" which is essentially this recipe, and add it to your cauliflower sauce instead of the milk. It elevated the creaminess and richness. Try it. It's sooooo good!

I never thought making cashew sauce can be this much easy.Thanks for sharing the recipe.The cashew sauce looks so nice and rich.I am definitely going to try it.

This looks delicious! Do you use raw cashews?  Or can you use roasted as well?

I love cashew sauce! I've only made it using nutritional yeast I love your suggestions for switching up the flavors. MUST try them all!

This vegan yum yum sauce is creamy, tangy and amazing! This popular Japanese-style sauce is so easy to make and a perfect dipping sauce.

Vegan Yum Yum Sauce

Vegan Mayonnaise ((240 grams))

Tablespoons Tomato Paste

Tablespoon Rice Vinegar

Smoked Paprika

Garlic Powder

Tablespoon White Granulated Sugar

Tablespoon Vegan Butter (Melted)

Tablespoons Water

Add vegan mayonnaise, tomato paste, rice vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, white granulated sugar, melted vegan butter and water to a mixing bowl.

This cilantro sauce is creamy, tangy, savory, sweet, and totally delicious! It's plant-based and perfect for dolloping on baked potatoes, tacos and more.

Creamy Cilantro Sauce

water

lime juice (juice from 2 limes)

cilantro leaves

Place the cashews in a bowl and cover them with water. Soak for 1 hour (or the very least, 30 minutes if you have a high speed blender). For preparation in advance, you can soak the cashews overnight, which is even better.

Drain the cashews. Add the cashews, water, lime juice, cilantro, and kosher salt to a blender, then blend on high for 1 minute. Stop and scrape, then add additional liquid if necessary to come to the desired creamy consistency (we added 2 additional tablespoons; you could add more for a more drizzle-able sauce). Blend for several minutes until creamy and smooth. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for several months.

If there is one thing that can make your meal stand out, it's this spicy chili garlic aioli. It comes together in less than 5 minutes, and we promise you'll want to put it on everything!

garlic, finely minced (0.08)

lime juice (0.24)

tsp chili powder (0.02)

chili paste (0.02)

tsp Valentina hot sauce (0.04)

First, scoop the vegan "mayo" into a dish big enough to allow mixing. Something like a mason jar works great for this.

Next, add in the chili, lime juice, chili paste, Valentina hot sauce, and minced garlic (a garlic press works great for this). Stir everything to thoroughly combine.

Lentil bolognese is a rich and hearty pasta sauce that is budget-friendly and full of bold flavors. Plus, it makes tasty leftovers!

Lentil Bolognese

onion

carrot (0.15)

celery

Tbsp cooking oil (0.08)

garlic (0.32)

tsp crushed red pepper (0.02)

walnuts (1.07)

red lentils (0.67)

15 ounces. can crushed tomatoes (1.00)

tomato paste (0.27)

oregano (0.10)

basil (0.10)

garlic powder (0.10)

Tbsp sugar (0.02)

salt (0.02)

tsp black pepper (0.02)

vegetable broth (0.36)

full-fat coconut milk (0.81)

Finely dice the onion, carrot, and celery. Mince the garlic.

Add the olive oil, onion, celery and carrot to a large pot. Sauté the vegetables for about 5 minutes over a medium until the onions are translucent and the vegetables have softened.

Once vegetables have softened, add the minced garlic, crushed red pepper and walnuts to the pot. Saute for 2 minutes over medium-low heat, or until the garlic is fragrant.

Add the lentils, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, dried oregano, dried basil, garlic powder, salt, sugar, pepper, and vegetable broth to the pot. Mix everything together and bring the sauce to a boil.

Reduce the heat to low and simmer, semi covered with a lid, stirring occasionally for 20-25 minutes. After about 25 minutes the lentils should be soft and the sauce thickened. If the sauce is still too thin for your liking, continue simmering until it has reached your desired consistency.

Once the bolognese has reached your desired consistency and texture, stir in the coconut milk and simmer for another 5 minutes. Taste the bolognese and add salt to taste. Turn off the heat. The bolognese will continue to thicken as it cools.
