This was definitely tasty but the watery nature of it makes me think more towards a dressing or topping for a cold dish… rather than a ‘sauce’.
Is the ingredient list complete?
I might mix in some cannellini or garbanzo beans next time to thicken it up some.
Are there really 12 cloves of garlic in this recipe??
Why add cane sugar?
Hi Irene,
While we definitely recommend using cane sugar very sparingly, there are instances in which using a little bit can make a big difference in the flavor of a sauce or dessert, and Chef Darshana Thacker Wendel, who is a huge proponent of WFPB eating, sometimes feels it’s appropriate. This also applies to all-purpose flour. Learn more about what FOK recommends for a WFPB pantry here: https://www.forksoverknives.com/how-tos/give-your-kitchen-pantry-a-healthy-plant-based-makeover/
Thank you,
