     Title: Cashew-Ginger Sauce
Categories: Sauces
     Yield: 5 Cups

     2 c  Cashew pieces; toasted
     3 c  Water or milk
     2 ts Ginger; freshly grated
     2 ts Tamari; or more to taste
   1/2 ts Salt; or more to taste

 Use plain, unsalted cashews and toast them in your broiler.

 Puree all ingredients in blender until very smooth. Heat gently.
 Stir from the bottom as you serve.

 If you want a thicker, creamier sauce that goes a little further,
 make a roux:

 * melt 3 tb butter
 * whisk in 3 tb flour

 Cook, whisking over low heat 2 to 5 minutes. Whisk in heated cashew
 puree, and cook an additional 8 to 10 minutes.

 Serve over steamed or sauteed vegetables and/or grains. Top with
 chopped scallions.
