Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cashew butter, recipe follows
- 3/4 cup coconut milk
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Salt, optional
Directions
Whisk the butter, milk, and pepper together in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Taste and add salt, if desired. Heat until sauce is warmed through. Serve over grilled chicken, pork, or rice.
Cashew Butter:
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/3 cup walnut oil
- 10 ounces (approximately 2 cups) roasted cashews
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Place the honey in a microwave-safe container and heat in the microwave for 15 seconds. Remove from the microwave and add the oil to the container. Place the nuts and salt in the bowl of a food processor and pulse for 5 seconds. Then, while the processor is running, very slowly drizzle in the honey and oil. Process until an emulsion is formed and the mixture is smooth; this will take approximately 45 seconds to 1 minute. If the mixture is too thick and doesn't spread easily, add a little more oil.
Yield: Approximately 1 to 1 1/2 cups

Beautiful recipe for cashew butter. I have yet to try the sauce but this is a great tasting alternative to store bought peanut butter. I made this after inadvertently burning a tray of raw cashews that I was roasting in the oven and couldn't bring myself to throw them away. So pulsed them a few times in my magic bullet with vegetable oil in place of the walnut oil and in a few minutes cashew nut butter was born. Amazing.

I have only made the cashew nut butter recipe as that was what I was looking for when I did my search. I made mind without the salt .. I processed the mixture for 45 seconds as I wanted a thick and crunchy spread for my toast, bread and rice crackers. The honey adds a nice sweetness to the butter. I have made it without the honey as well. The butter has a good nutty flavor with the mixture of the cashew and walnut oil. I added another teaspoon of oil and processed for the whole minute to make it smooth and creamy for a friend who wanted a creamy cashew butter with no salt added. I am looking forward to making a walnut butter with this recipe. I will definitely be making my own nut butter from now on as it tastes so much better than bought ones and is easy to make in the food processor.

Amazing flavor, but the sauce was a little thick. Some cilantro and lime juice really brighten it up, too.
