Ingredients
- 70 g (½ cup) raw cashew nuts, soaked overnight (or soaked in hot water for 2 hours)
- 100 g drained marinated artichoke hearts
- 1 small garlic clove, crushed
- 3 tsp lemon juice, or to taste
- 3 tsp nutritional yeast, or to taste
- 2 tsp finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 70 g (1½ cups) packed baby spinach leaves
- 2 tbsp avocado oil, plus extra to drizzle
To serve
- crispbread, to serve
- 1 punnet baby cucumbers, cut lengthways into quarters
- 200 g snow peas, trimmed, blanched, refreshed
Soaking time: overnight
Instructions
- Place a sieve over a bowl and drain the cashews, reserving the soaking liquid. Combine the drained cashews, artichokes, garlic, lemon juice, nutritional yeast and parsley in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
- Gradually add 1-2 tbsp of the reserved cashew soaking liquid to loosen the mixture and give a smoother texture. Pulse again to incorporate everything.
- Add the spinach and pulse to combine. With motor running, gradually add the avocado oil until you have a smooth puree, scraping down the sides with a spatula if needed. Season to taste.
- Transfer to a bowl, drizzle with a little more avocado oil and serve with crispbread, baby cucumbers and snow peas.
