Cashew Queso

(makes 6 servings)

½ cup - 1 cup (120-140 ml) hot water

1 cup (120 g) raw cashews

1 clove garlic, chopped

2 Tbsp nutritional yeast

1/2 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp chili powder

1/2 tsp salt, plus more to taste

1 Tbsp hot sauce (or to taste)

Place all the ingredients in a high-speed blender, starting with just ½ cup (120 ml) of water. Blend until creamy, adding water if necessary to create a smooth consistency.

Taste and adjust the seasoning – add more hot sauce for heat, nutritional yeast for the cheese factor, or cumin for smokiness.

Pour into a dish and serve as a dip … or use it as a sauce.
