Coriander Cashew Nut Spread Recipe

After discovering the wonderment that is cashew yogurt, it was only logical to progress from a breakfast staple to a lunchtime staple and find a blog post-worthy, savoury recipe for this talented nut.

Enter cashew nut spread. This can be used in lieu of cheese as it is creamy and strong in flavour. It's easy to toss all the ingredients into the blender and it keeps well in the fridge for several days so you can have a rather gorgeous sandwich anytime. I love it coated liberally on a freshly baked roll with tomatoes, marinated artichokes and lettuce. It's all we've been eating in my house for weeks!

Coriander (Cilantro) Cashew Nut Spread
The coriander/cilantro is optional. Play around with your favourite ingredients because this is a versatile, 'make-it-how-you-like-it' kinda dish.

• handful of fresh coriander (adjust to taste)
• one cup of cashews
• juice of 1/2 or one whole lemon
• tablespoon of olive oil
• one garlic clove, crushed
  
• splash of water
• 1/2 teaspoon dried chilli flakes
• pinch of sea salt

Combine all the ingredients in a blender until you get the consistency you like. That's all there is to it! Enjoy and let me know if you come up with any other variations.
