The Best Vegan Cashew Gravy

November 30, 2020

I’m not a vegan, but when it comes to gravy I prefer mine delicious minus the turkey stock and drippings. Gravy should check off all the necessary criteria: creamy, savory, pourable, smooth, delicious… I can go on. This vegan cashew gravy ticks all of the boxes. The cashews make it extremely creamy while the dash of soy sauce adds the perfect umami, and the maple adds a hint of sweet. It pours beautifully over vegetables, stuffing and even turkey (if you’re not vegetarian). This vegan gravy will please everyone at the table, from the little kids to the traditional gravy lovers.

How to achieve the Perfect Vegan Gravy

People have high expectations for gravy, and the die hard Thanksgiving goers want it to be just right. Unfortunately, the vegans/vegetarians are usually left with no sauce. This vegan cashew gravy is perfect for the vegans and everyone else.

Let’s make it CREAMY: to make vegan gravy creamy use raw cashews as the base and blend blend blend until completely smooth.

How about that SAVORY touch: to make your gravy umami and salty add soy sauce, onion powder and garlic powder.

That DRIZZLE though: to get the perfect thickness, add one tablespoon of flour or cornstarch, then once blended heat in a saucepan and stir until thickened.

A Healthier Option: Vegan Cashew Gravy vs Traditional Gravy

This vegan cashew gravy makes for a MUCH healthier option than traditional gravy. While turkey drippings provide a high amount of saturated fat, cashews provide healthy fats that contribute to a healthy diet and your omega-3 fatty acid needs. This gravy also had less sodium than traditional gravy and no cholesterol. If you’re looking for a healthier gravy option, this is it! Look no more!

As Easy as Blend and Stir

The thing that makes this recipe so simple is that all you have to do is throw your ingredients in a food processor or blender until creamy, then heat in a saucepan. Most gravys require more steps and assistance to achieve the perfect flavor and consistency. In this case, the ingredients and tools do all the work, and it is truly a no fail recipe.

When I say these are the best taquitos I’ve ever had, I really mean THEY ARE THE BEST. The first time I made these sweet potato and corn taquitos I shared them with my friends, and I held my breath as they tasted them, worried that they wouldn’t like them. Well, that wasn’t the case at all! To name a few reactions: REMARKABLE, I NEED the recipe, 😭😍 delicious, are there any leftovers? ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
These taquitos are PERFECTLY crispy, sweet, cheesy... I can go on. They are a healthy and fresh twist on the classic taquito dish, and of course I had to add an avocado element.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
The 🍠 and 🌽 is filled with sweet potato, corn, cheese and and a fresh avocado cream.⁠⠀

Serious Relations ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
She's the girl who wakes up and smiles because she's powerful and she knows it. She doesn't abide by anyone's rules but her own. She doesn't succumb to the pressures of society. This collection is called Battle of the Sexes because the woman behind the clothes is delicate yet confident and finds herself in a position of power in all aspects of her life. At work, in the city, within herself and with her oh so lucky subjects.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
This confidence, it isn't the kind of confidence that exposes a big ego; not the kind of power that is self-centered and demanding. It's a modest, almost unnoticeable kind of poise. She doesn't demand that you listen to her, but you want to. She doesn't make the rules, but you follow her anyway. ⁠⠀
