This plant-based cashew crema is great for serving with tacos.
Ingredients
1 cup raw cashews, soaked in water overnight
1 garlic clove
1/4 cup lime juice
1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
Combine cashews with enough water to cover in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate overnight, about 12 hrs. (This will soften the cashews to make them creamier when processed.)
Drain cashews from overnight soaking, then transfer to a blender or food processor. Add garlic, lime juice, salt and 5 tbsp water. Blend until smooth, 2 to 3 min.
Serve with roasted mushroom tacos.
