Homemade Cashew Butter
Recipe courtesy Emeril Lagasse, 2003

Ingredients
2 cups unsalted roasted cashews
2 to 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar, optional

Instructions
In a food processor or blender, combine the nuts, 2
tablespoons of the oil, the salt, and the sugar, if desired. Process on high speed
for 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula and process to desired
smoothness, adding more oil, 1 teaspoon at a time, if a smoother butter is
desired. Adjust the seasoning, to taste.

Transfer to a bowl to use as a dip, spread, or in other recipes, or place in an
airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use.
