Cashew tomatillo sauce Print E-mail
2/3 C. (158 ml) cashew pieces
1 1/2 lbs. (679 g) fresh tomatillos
1 fresh poblano pepper (also called pasilla), diced
2 large cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, diced
1 1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. ground cumin
Freshly ground black pepper
1 C. (237 ml) unsweetened soy milk

Using a small electric coffee grinder, grind cashews into a powder and set aside.
Remove and discard outer husks from the tomatillos, wash thoroughly, and chop tomatillos. Put tomatillos into a large skillet or flat bottom wok.

Add poblano pepper, garlic, onion, salt, cumin, and pepper to skillet. Cook over high heat about 6 or 7 minutes, stirring to cook evenly. Add soy milk to skillet and stir well. When mixture begins to bubble, add ground cashews a little at a time. Stir until thickened and smooth, about 2 minutes. Makes 4 servings.

NOTE: When serving, you may want to garnish with a sprinkle of turmeric or paprika, 1 tablespoon or two of finely minced red bell pepper, or a tablespoon of finely shredded carrots.
