Green peppercorn sauce made from cashew nuts

A twist on the classic French creamy green peppercorn sauce, designed to be glutenfree and dairyfree. Equally suited for a vegan, paleo or Medical Medium diet! This recipe swaps traditional roux for potato starch (or arrowroot). The base is a velvety vegan cream, crafted from soaked cashews.

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Soak the cashews in plenty of water for at least 4 hours.
  2. Cut the onion into thin half slices. Bake in the non stick pan until translucent. For Medical Medium preferably with just some drops of water and no oil.
  3. Press the garlic and add. Bake until the onion is caramelized. Be patient, all together that will take about 10 minutes.
  4. Drain the cashew nuts. Put them into the cup of your immersion blender. Add the cup of broth or a cup of water.
  5. Add the caramelized onions with the maple syrup, coconut aminos, lemon juice, kombu, mushroom powder and paprika powder. Don't add salt yet.
  6. Mix several minutes into a creamy sauce.
  7. Put the sauce into the sauce pan and bring it to a soft boil.
  8. Add the peppercorns. Keep some aside to serve at the table for people that like a bit more kick.
  9. Taste. Add salt if you feel it's necessary. But for Medical Medium try to keep it low.
  10. You now have the thickest version of the sauce. You can set the sauce aside till needed (even in the fridge or to bring to a potluck). Reheat just before serving. Then add up to a quarter cup extra liquid if you need a thinner sauce.
