Cashews ~ Uncooked cashews is what you need to use right here. They’ve a gentle taste and so they mix up tremendous creamy making them an awesome different for typical dairy-based sauces.
Soak them in scorching water for 10 to twenty minutes to make sure they mix up easy. A high-speed blender, like a Vitamix or Blendtec, is really helpful for greatest texture outcomes.
Chipotles in Adobo Sauce ~ Chipotle peppers are smoked and dried jalapeño peppers. Those that come canned in adobo sauce have been rehydrated. The sauce is a wealthy, smoky, tangy tomato based mostly sauce.
