This week is moving along and that’s a good thing heading into a 3 day weekend. And it’s Fat Tuesday, something I’ve never celebrated because indulging on a weeknight is not fun if it means being bloated, cranky, and hungover for work the next day. It’s just another weeknight here with Miko making the rounds for extra attention and dinner.
And me creating another veggie-based cheesy hemp seed sauce to coat a blend of lightly steamed broccoli and cauliflower and raw spinach.
The Raw Project
Cheesy Curry Sauce
- 1/2 cup shelled hemp seeds
- 2 carrots, chopped
- 2 tbsp. lemon juice
- 2 tbsp. nutritional yeast
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. curry powder
- 1 clove of garlic
- 1/2″ thick chunk of fresh ginger
- 1/2 cup water
Place all ingredients into a high speed blender and blend to a smooth and creamy texture. Use as a cheesy dip, spread, or dressing. Makes 2 servings.
I created this to be a healthy, nutrient-packed sauces that looked and tasted a lot like a creamy cheese sauce with a little kick.
And the carrots and curry powder give the sauce a very convincing cheesy color while the hemp seeds and nutritional yeast add the creamy and cheesy texture.
It coated the veggie blend perfectly with a rich, savory, and slightly kicky flavor that could make fans out of younger, pickier eaters.
And the sauce made my veggie blend look like a decadent cheesy dish, not veggies coated in more veggies.
The texture complimented the crunchier veggies with silky flavor.
Not a bad dinner on a plain Tuesday night, it was very filling and not fattening.
I have never participated in this whole Fat Tuesday business either, maybe someday! This cheesy curry sauce looks great, it would go with many dishes!
True on Fat Tuesday, maybe when I’m retired and don’t have to be at work the next morning. Thanks on the cheesy sauce, it has a great creamy flavor and texture for being mostly veggie based.
OMG! Another recipe with Hemp Seeds! LOVE it! LOVE that it’s “cheesy” too! Another one to add to my list of things to try! LOVE the Chi photo! I’ll have some later today, too! :)
I have a bag of hemp seeds in my pantry that is BEGGING me to do something with it– I should make this!!
I am huge fan of curry based cream sauce especially raw! Thanks for SHARING.
