Recipe – Yellow Sauce (reminiscent of Whole Bowl)

This is based on the already revised recipe in the comments thread of this page. It’s not far from the sauce served at Whole Bowl in Portland. I used it last night over brown rice, garbanzos, salsa, avocado, pan-fried veg, and cilantro – fantastic! Wish I had ascorbic acid on hand as was suggested for a pleasing “tang” but it was good without.

Nutritional yeast is so magically delicious.

1/2 c oil
1/2 c nuts – cashew or almond, or tahini
2/3 c cooked garbanzo beans, soy beans, silken tofu, or combination
4 garlic cloves
1/2 c water
1/2 c lemon juice
1/3 c nutritional yeast
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/8 tsp ascorbic acid/Vitamin C crystals (optional)

Combine oil, nuts, beans, and garlic in food processor and blend. Add remaining ingredients and puree until smooth.
