Chunky Avocado Garlic Butter Spread (Dairy Free) Recipe

By Peanut Palate

🔪Prep Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

1 cup raw cashews boiled in hot water for an hour

1 medium ripe avocado pitted

½ tsp Italian seasoning mix

2 tsp lemon juice

4 cloves garlic sauteed in the olive oil until browned

8 tsp olive oil

¼ tsp pink salt

2 pinches black pepper powder

Instructions

1Fill a medium stovetop pot with water. Place over medium-high heat on the stove, allowing the water to come to a boil.

2Once boiling, add in the raw cashews. Turn the heat off and allow the cashews to sit for an hour.

3In the meantime, in a medium stovetop pan over low-medium heat, add the 8 tsp olive oil.

4Once the pan is hot, add in the garlic cloves.

5Stir with a rubber spatula, allowing them to brown for a minute or two.

6When the garlic is a medium golden-brown color, turn off the heat. It shouldn't be too dark brown where it's starting to burn, but not light enough where it hasn't had time to toast in the pan.

7For the next step, if you prefer a chunky spread, use a mortar & pestle. If you want a smooth spread, use a blender.

8Once the cashews are ready, drain the water from the pot and set the cashews aside for the next step.

9Add the browned garlic along with the remaining oil in the pan to a blender cup or to a mortar & pestle. Add in all the remaining ingredients as well, including the cashews.

10Blend or grind up the mixture until the desired texture forms.

11Pour the mixture into an airtight container for storage. Enjoy as a spread or a dip!

Earth of Maria

I’ve never been good at introductions because when they’re needed, I seem to forget every single interesting thing about myself. But I guess we’ll start with the basics. My name is Maria, and I am a twenty year old student from England. I study history at the University of Oxford and live in Brighton, but I was born in Russia and moved to the UK around ten years ago. I’m a vegan foodie (as you can probably tell by this blog), a lover of long walks and somewhere awkwardly between extrovert and introvert. Veganism and healthy eating are a huge part of my life, given that both have helped me overcome an unhealthy relationship with food. Finding balance took a lot of time and patience. But, as with many things in life, hard work proved 110% worth it! Whenever I’m not in the kitchen or working in my room, you’ll often find me at the gym, or at the grocery store looking for inspo for my next recipe.
