In honor of Mama Pea’s second cookbook, I decided to make her highly raved about MMM sauce. While I was skeptical of the many different ingredients, I in no way doubted it’s delicousness.
What I didn’t realize was how fantastic it was going to be. It exceeded my expectations. Brady loved it as well. And although Anna called it hummus (which I let happen since she loves hummus!), she loved it too!
I see why Sarah specifically wrote that the recipe could easily be doubled. Too bad I didn’t follow her directions and double it to begin with because now I will have to wash out my food processor an extra time.
We drizzled the liquid gold on our dinner last night which included salmon, red onion + kale quinoa (recipe to come) and green beans.
And once we started eating and realized how good it was, I moved the whole container onto the table for easier access.
MMM Sauce
from the recipe goddess: Mama Pea
- 1/4 c. almonds
- 1/3 c. water
- 1/4 c. chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1/4 c. nutritional yeast
- 2 1/2 T. lemon juice
- 1 t. minced garlic
- 1/4 t. salt
- 3/4 t. curry powder
- 1/2 t. dried oregano
- 1/2 t. dried cilantro
Her Note That I Didn’t Follow: this recipe could easily be doubled and leftovers will keep covered in the fridge for 7-10 days
-
In a high speed blender or food processor, combine oil, almonds, water and chickpeas. Blend until relatively smooth.
-
Add remaining ingredients and blend until smooth.
Yum! I have heard of her sauce around the blogosphere, but had never seen the recipe. This looks tasty and easy…and I happen to have all those ingredients on hand!
Do you know if you could start with almond butter instead of almonds? Just curious what the consistency ends up being, since I am more likely to have almond butter handy than actual nuts 🙂
Yay! So glad you guys liked it. And to the previous commenter, yes, almond butter would work fine.
Mmm is right .. looks so good!!
You have to try it! So much better than I thought it would be!
Yes! Almond butter would work great! I may try that next time because my nuts were still a little crunchy! Let me know if you try it!
