Ingredients
- ½ cup raw cashews*(70 g/2.5 oz)
- 2 cups cauliflower florets (230 g/8 oz)
- ¾ cup water, to be used to cook cauliflower
- ¾ cup water, this is additional water to be used with the cashews

Instructions
- Place cauliflower in sauce pot with ¾ cup of water. Cover and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until cauliflower is fork tender. Set aside with cooking water.
- Dry sauté the onions until tender and beginning to caramelize.

- Add cashews to blender with ¾ cup water and blend until smooth.
- Add to the blender the cauliflower with the cooking water, Bragg Liquid Aminos, poultry seasoning, onion powder, and nutritional yeast. Blend into a smooth creamy mixture.
- Add blender mixture to the onions and mushrooms. Stir to combine and bring to boil.

Notes
- Cashews should be soaked. You can soak cashews overnight or do a quick 30-minute soak in boiling water. Drain and discard soaking water.
- Raw sunflower seeds or blanched almonds can be substituted for cashews in a 1:1 ratio. Note the sauce will not as smooth and creamy as with cashews, but the sauce is still very flavourful.
- Both almonds and sunflower seeds need to be soaked. Discard the soaking water. Almonds are very hard and need to be soaked overnight. Sunflower seeds can be soaked overnight or do a quick 15-minute soak in boiling water.
