Method

  • step 1

    Tip all the ingredients, plus ¾ tsp of salt, into a food processor with 100-200ml of water, depending on the thickness of the cashew butter and how thin you like your sauce, and blitz until smooth.

  • step 2

    Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. It will keep for a day in the fridge but will thicken as it chills, so you may need to add a little water to loosen – it should be a thick, pouring consistency.
