Method

  1. cook veges, garlic and oil until clear
  2. add all remaining ingredients (except cashew mix) and bring to boil and simmer for 30 minutes
  3. blend well with stick blender – it may take a minute or so to get a nice creamy paste – if you do not go long enough it may just be water and almond bits
