Tofurky Plant Chick’n simmered in a SILK CREAMY CASHEW SAUCE with French Style Green Beans and marinated sun-dried tomato strips seasoned with garlic, tarragon and soft sweet onion. Served over PUMPKIN TATER MASH! Lovely!!
SERVES 4-6
SILK CREAMY CASHEW SAUCE
2 T. margarine – I used Country Crock Plant Based
2 T. extra virgin olive oil
1/3 c. flour
1 t. salt
1/4 t. white pepper
4 c. SILK CREAMY CASHEW UNSWEETENED 25 calories per 8 oz.
Notes: For thick sauce use 2 cups milk; for medium-thick use 3 cups milk; for thin use 4 cups milk.
For this recipe this time I wanted thin and more of it.
1- Make a roux: In extra-large saucepan, over medium-low heat, melt margarine with olive oil.
2- Add flour all at once and immediately whisk into oils till dissolved and smooth.
3- Add salt and pepper. Lower heat as needed to prevent scorching, whisking all the while – about 5 minutes, taking short breaks to do something else, but don’t leave the kitchen and check often. Since we’re making a white sauce, we don’t want it to darken too much.
4- Add the cashew cream one cup at a time, whisking till thickened after each cup. Don’t put it all in at once.
5- When done, lower heat and cook, uncovered, about 20 minutes, whisking often. Remove from heat, adjust salt and pepper and set aside.

I found a loaf of fresh French baguette yesterday to use as a base for AFC CHICKEN FRICCASSEE. Really nice. Fresh bread is hard to come by these pandemic days.
