Bavarian Vegan Cheese Sauce

Total Time: 25 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• 1 medium potato, peeled and cubed
• 1 small carrot, thickly sliced
• 1 small onion, quartered
• 1 -2 garlic clove
• 1 cup vegetable broth (or water)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 ounces silken tofu
• 1/2 cup nutritional yeast
• 1 dash hot sauce (optional)

Recipe

• 1 cook potato, carrot, garlic, and onion in the 1 cup of water till vegetables are very soft, about 10-15 minutes.
• 2 pour into blender, along with tofu, salt and brewers yeast, and puree.
• 3 add more broth or water if necessary.
• 4 the ending consistency should be very thick, like a cheese sauce.
• 5 if you like a bit of a "kick" to the sauce, like what using sharp cheddar would give, add some hot sauce.
• 6 you'll be tempted to use more than 1 cup of water, but don't until the final pureeing stage, since you don't want to end up making this too thin.
• 7 you can always add more water/broth/ wine at the end; however, this is not a sauce you can "cook down".
• 8 serve over cooked rice, mixed with pasta, and vegetables, etc.
