How to Make Savory Cashew Gravy Vegan

  1. Soak 1 cup raw cashews in hot water for at least 15 minutes, or until softened.
  2. Drain the cashews and add them to a high-speed blender along with 1 cup vegetable broth, 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast, 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free), 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. You may need to add a little more broth if the mixture is too thick.
  4. Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Pour in the cashew mixture and cook, stirring constantly, for 5-7 minutes, or until heated through and slightly thickened.
  5. If the gravy is too thin, whisk in 1-2 tablespoons of arrowroot powder mixed with 2 tablespoons of cold water until it reaches your desired consistency. Continue to cook for another 2 minutes, or until thickened.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve immediately over your favorite dish.
