Ingredients
- ½ cup raw cashews
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon vegan butter
- 4 cloves garlic (minced or crushed through a garlic press)
- 1 yellow or white onion (finely chopped)
- 16 oz spinach (regular spinach or baby spinach, roughly chopped)
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ cup vegan parmesan
- Salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place the cashews in a blender with the water and blend into a smooth puree. Set aside.
- Heat vegan butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, saute until lightly blond, then add onions. Season with salt and pepper. Saute until translucent.
- Stir in the spinach and saute it until it has wilted fully and is tender, about 3-5 minutes.
- Stir in the cashew cream along with the nutmeg. Mix well and bring to a boil, then lower heat to a simmer. Cook the creamed spinach until thickened, which shouldn't take more than 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the vegan parmesan and mix well. Check seasoning and add more salt and pepper if needed. Turn off heat.
