Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 cup water

1 medium potato -- peeled and chunked

1/2 medium carrot -- peeled and chunked

1/2 medium onion -- peeled and chunked

1/2 cup reduced-fat firm or medium-firm regular

tofu -- crumbled

1 to 4 tablespoons nutritional yeast (1/2 cup if using as

melted " cheese " )

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon salt

or

1 tablespoon light miso + 1/2 tsp salt

1/4 teaspoon garlic granules

 

Use like a cheddar cheese sauce. It's great on steamed vegetables and macaroni.

You can also spread it on toast and broil it for a " grilled cheese " sandwich, or

spread it on top of casseroles and broil If you are alllergic to potatoes,

substitute 3/4 cup well-cooked rice.

 

Cook potato, carrot, and onion in the water in a small saucepan, covered.

 

When the carrot is tender, add the cooked vegetables to a blender along with

tofu, yeast, lemon juice, salt, and garliic granules. Blend until very smooth.

Serve immediately or refrigerate (it will keep for a week and can be gently

reheated).

 

Variation, Tangy Cream Sauce: Make the Golden Sauce, omitting the carrot and

blending 2 tablespoons sesame meal with the tofu.

 

Variation: Using the smaller amount of yeast this can be used as a rich

bechamel (cream) sauce; with more yeast, it's like a white cheese sauce. It's

delicious on steamed vegetables, broiled on toast or broiled on top of lasagne,

cannelini, or moussaka.
