I made it with the exception of the red pepper flakes; as I'm going to use it for more of an Italian sauce instead of spicy. This makes a great base sauce and highly recommend trying it. Read More

Very good. I started with raw unsalted cashews instead. I used cayenne pepper instead of hot chilis. I added only 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar. The consistency was wonderfully smooth and lightly stiff. It was great in a veggie wrap with teriyaki spiced tofu cubes. Read More
