So this sauce is something I would have on a zucchini cut into pasta ( I have a spiral cutter but you can use the grater on your food processor to make shorter ones too .... still YUMMY) or I would have it over warmed broccoli. Ideally you would very lightly steam or blanch your broccoli or even better throw them in the dehydrator for an hour or two. Personally I drizzle my broccoli in olive oil and place it in the dehydrator, and it had a gorgeous bright lightly steamed consistency. If you do steam ( do it for only 2 mins and them rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process) and if you blanch ( immerse in boiling water for 30 seconds and again rinse in cold water to stop the cooking.)
Not everyone has a dehydrator but it is a small investment for a cheap one ( I bought one at Canadian Tire for 50 $ !!) Im in the market for a really good one, but I am using mine almost every day. A dehydrator allows you to create warm yummy food that is not cooked. Because you are not raising the temp past a certain point ( the point where enzymes begin to die )
So back to yummy goodness :
All you do is this ....
Combine 1 cup zucchini, 1/2 a red pepper, 1/3 cup nutritional yeast, 1.5 tbls of Tamari soy sauce, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, 1 tsp Flax or olive oil, 1.5 tbls Chia seeds, juice of 1/2 lemon, 1/2 tsp of turmeric all in your Vita mix or food processor and push go !! Blend for a while till everything is all creamy and enjoy !!
Like I said over broccoli or zucchini is my fave but the kids eat it as a dip as well. This is also one of the few nut free creamy sauces I make so kids can enjoy it in there school lunches as well.
Healthy raw and DELICIOUS.
I encourage my family to try new and healthy things all the time, and I don't try to pass any of it off for a substitution .... just a new yummy food. I would not tell the kids it was cheese sauce ..... just a yummy creamy sauce.
I find this to taste like a roasted red pepper cream sauce ( delish !)
Happy eating !
