INSTRUCTIONS

Making cashew butter

• Press Start.
• Open the container lid.
• If necessary, set for an additional 1-2 minutes for a creamier butter.

Making cashew curry

• Add your lime juice, garlic, curry powder, coconut milk, pepper flakes, and some salt to the cashew butter in the NutraMilk.
• Add 1/2 cup of water and ¨Mix¨ until the mixture is very smooth and creamy. Keep adding water until you reach the consistency you want. Adjust seasoning if you need to.

Making curried cauliflower

• Simply place cauliflower in a sauce pot and pour cashew curry sauce. Depending on how much water you used it will be more or less concentrated so keep that in mind. You can use ½ cup for example of the cashew curry sauce and add more water to just barely cover the cauliflower.
• Bring to a boil and then simmer until tender.
