ingredients

Cheese' sauce

  • 1/2 cup Organic Cashews, soaked overnight
  • 3 tbsp Organic Savoury Yeast Flakes
  • 1 small garlic clove, crushed
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 7 tbsp of water
  • Pinch of salt and pepper to taste

method

  1. Turn your oven on to bake at 180C.
  2. Prepare your kumara by cutting in half length-ways and placing it on your baking tray. Drizzle your desired roasting oil with some salt and pepper then place in oven to bake for 40minutes until soft.
  3. In your food processor or blender, combine your cashews, savoury yeast, lemon juice and water and blitz until creamy. If this isn’t a creamy consistency, add water slowly until you get the right consistency. Flavour with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Once your kumara is ready, take this out, drizzle with the sauce and top with freshly chopped chives!
