Cheese sauce

Method:

Use as a sauce to accompany pasta such as lasagna or to dress green vegetables and/or potatoes.

Lightly boil cauliflower (including leaves and stem). Transfer cauliflower, with approximately 1-2 C of cauliflower water, into a blender.

Add tahini, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, salt, olive oil, turmeric and mustard to a blender. Blend and season to taste. If additional ‘zing’ is required, add more lemon. Consider adding more tahini, yeast or mustard.

Gently heat sauce in a pan prior to serving.
