Just made this. I think I would omit the raisins next time.. I didn’t have tarragon so maybe it was needed also. Felt like I was missing something. Thank you for this recipe!
Is there a cashew substitute you can recommend for someone with a tree nuts allergy?
soaked sunflower seeds or silky tofu =)
A can of white beans pureed might work too.
New to your channel, just subscribed, the reason i love your channel, is you get to the point, lets cook, i don’t have to listen to all the crap of why and how and when, it’s right to the point, here is how we do it, and i love that, thank you for all the great recipes, many are now my go to meals and sauces, thank you again.
Is there another spice beside Tarragon that you would recommend?
Made this today could taste the vinegar so I put lemon juice to cut it. Next time I will use less vinegar. Otherwise it was pretty good. Also, in the video it looked like the ingredients were blended before the water was put in, not sure?
This is absolutely delicious. I do have a friend who asked what could be used to replace cashews because her son has numerous allergies.
You can always use almonds
Made this tonight. Omitted tarragon. I have made a NUMBER of different WFPB Mac n cheez, some oil-free, but this was HANDS DOWN the BEST! I thought it had a little too much vinegar, but my husband liked it. So very good! Roasted some broccoli too and threw it in. YUM! Thank you!
was ok. I halved the sweetener and vinegar. I did add the liquid braggs. Will halve the raisins and vinegar yet again. Yes Jill the recipe is good enough for me to play with to suit my palate. Think next time I might try some white miso for the sweet and salty.
