Instructions
- To roast the garlic, just slice a little off the top of a head of garlic and drizzle with a little oil. Wrap it in tin foil or use a garlic cooker. Cook at 350 degrees F. for about 20 minutes, or until the bulb is soft. Don't over cook or it will be too hard and bitter. When ready to use, just squeeze out the soft insides! Make extra to keep in the fridge for a few days. It is good in so many things!
- Drain and rinse the soaked cashews and add them to your blender.
- Add all the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth. Add additional water to attain the preferred thickness.
- The flavours are even better if you allow this to sit for an hour or more in the fridge. Enjoy!
