Instruction

  • In a small bowl place your cashews with boiling water, leave to soak while you complete the following steps. 
  • In a medium pot on medium high heat, sauté your onions with olive oil until translucent approx 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and spices, and continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to toast the spices (add a splash of water if you notice the spices sticking to the bottom of the pan).
  • Add the crushed tomatoes and water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low and add the potato, celery and carrots stirring occasionally until potatoes are fork tender, approx. 10 – 15 minutes. 
  • While the potatoes are cooking puree the soaked cashews by placing the nuts and water into a blender. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes until completely smooth in texture. Reserve for later.
  • Once the potatoes are cooked, add the cauliflower, peas and cashew cream. Bring sauce back to a simmer and cook for an additional 7-8 minutes, remove from heat and enjoy! 
  • Serve on its own or over a bed of steamed rice, top with toasted cashews and freshly chopped cilantro.
