Servings: 8
Servings: 1g
Ingredients
- Cashews– 1 cup raw.
- Hot Water- enough to cover the cashews for soaking.
- Almond Milk– 1 cup.
- Vegan Beer- ½ cup.
- Nutritional Yeast– ¼ cup.
- Salt- ½ teaspoon.
- Sundried Tomatoes– ½ cup
- Olive Oil– 2 tablespoons.
- Corn Starch– 2 tablespoon.
- Smoked Paprika-½ teaspoon.
- Optional- Jalapeno peppers.
Instructions
- Start by placing the cashews in a large bowl. Cover the cashews with the hot water, making sure that water covers the cashews by about an inch. Soak for about an hour to soften the cashews.
- In a food processor or good blenders, process together the soaked cashews, almond milk, beer, nutritional yeast, salt, paprika, and sundried tomatoes until smooth.
- On medium heat and in a nonstick saucepan, heat together the olive oil and the cornstarch, stirring until combined. Then stir in the cashew mixture from the food processor or blender.
- Stirring continually, heat the ingredients until well combined and then turn the heat down to a simmer and cook until thickened to your desired consistency.
- If your dip is overcooked it will get hard but no worries, you can always add more almond milk and it will be awesome again.
Serve warm with a few slices of jalapeno on top and corn chips on the side.
Recipe Notes
This recipe can be made in a food processor or in a strong blender.
You will also need non-stick saucepan to cook the ingredients. I mentioned that you should make sure that you are using vegan beer in this recipe. Reading the label on the product or checking out the website for the beer is one way to see if it vegan. However, you should know that there are some European beers that will have ingredients such as gelatin or casein in them. American beers may be more likely to be beers that are fully vegan.
