Ingredients

  • 0.3 teaspoon cayenne pepper 
  • 0.8 cup coconut milk 
  • tablespoons honey 
  • 10 ounces roasted cashews (approximately 2 cups)
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt 
  • servings salt 
  • 0.3 cup walnut oil 

Equipment

  • food processor
  • bowl
  • sauce pan
  • whisk
  • microwave

Directions

  1. Whisk the butter, milk, and pepper together in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Taste and add salt, if desired.
  2. Heat until sauce is warmed through.
  3. Serve over grilled chicken, pork, or rice.
  4. Place the honey in a microwave-safe container and heat in the microwave for 15 seconds.
  5. Remove from the microwave and add the oil to the container.
  6. 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.
