Easy Cheese Sauce

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup of raw cashews
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup cooked brown rice
• 4 oz. jar of pimentos
• 2 tablespoon nutritional yeast flakes (optional)
• 2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 jalapeno or to taste (optional)

Preparation

1. Blend all ingredients in a blender until smooth

Note: May add a little water if sauce seems too thick.

If you do not have a powerful blender, such as a Vitamix, you may want to soak the cashews for 2-3 hours OR overnight in the fridge. This will soften them and create a creamy texture instead of a gritty one.
