Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sundried tomatoes (packed in oil)
- 0.5 cup Raw cashews
- 1 clove Fresh garlic
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon Nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Place the raw cashews in a small bowl and cover them with hot water. Let them soak for 10 minutes to soften.
Drain and rinse the cashews, then add them to a food processor or high-speed blender.
Add the sundried tomatoes (including a small amount of the oil they are packed in), garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper to the food processor.
Pulse the ingredients several times to break them down into a coarse texture.
Add the water one tablespoon at a time, blending after each addition until the mixture becomes smooth and spreadable. You may need to scrape down the sides of the food processor to ensure everything is evenly combined.
Taste the spread and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your preferences.
Transfer the spread to a serving bowl or an airtight container. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
