As someone with a slight bend towards controlling things my bi-monthly nightmare rose its head... a visit to the Outlaws. Don't get me wrong, they are lovely people and I love them to bits, but their cooking leaves a lot to be desired. Syn-filled and mushy. And horrifyingly the Things both love eating Ma Outlaw's Sunday Dinner (were the best bit I fear is the gravy and brown sauce combo).
Anyhoo, I have been trawling the internet and came across this recipe on one of my favourite blogs Mmm Sauce which in turn has come from Mama Pea
So once I had worked out what Nutritional Yeast was (a type of vegan cheese - who knew?) and gotten hold of a similar product (that tastes/feels very similar feta) I made a batch of this super flavourful sauce, once I had gotten over the heart attack from actually pouring 60ml of olive oil into something.
Makes 300ml 1.5 syns per tbsp and tastes a lot like caeser dressing at a fraction of the syn.
- 60ml EVOO
- 28g almonds
- 80 -100ml water
- 28g chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 28g cheezly cheese
- 2 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp curry powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried cilantro
- Note: this recipe will keep covered in the fridge for 7-10 days
- In a high speed blender or food processor, combine oil, almonds, water and chickpeas. Blend until smooth.
- Add remaining ingredients and blend until smooth.
- Transfer to a small bowl and refrigerate until serving.
It's recipes like this that really sparks my interest in vegitarianism and veganism, but then there is chicken and bacon.
