Ingredients

Sauce

  • 1 1/2 cup white beans, (navy, cannellini, great northern, etc)
  • 2 clove fresh garlic
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp dried basil
  • 1 Tbsp dried oregano
  • 1 Tbsp nutritional yeast
  • sea salt, to taste

Dish

  • 2 cup cauliflower

Instructions

  • Put the beans, garlic, lemon juice, herbs and nutritional yeast in a food processor (best) or blender (will work ok) with about half a cup of water. Process/blend until smooth, adding water as necessary for the right consistency. For a dip, use less water; for a sauce, use more water. Once you have the consistency you want, add salt to your taste.
  • Use the sauce over chopped cauliflower, either raw or lightly steamed. To steam, put the cauliflower in a steaming basket over a small amount of boiling water for about 20 minutes.
