#PretendCookingShow: Spicy, Garlicky Cashew Dip

This dip, by Melissa Clark, is a little something I’ve used to make a blah meal ooh la la for years. The more you make it the more you’ll discover your tastes. For example, I tasted like garlic for six days after this batch—😬—I ate it all anyway. #dragonbreath🐉🔥🙊 #SoDeliciousOnAnything

Spicy, Garlicky Cashew Spread by Melissa Clark (via @NYTCooking)

Ingredients:
– 1 cup roasted, salted cashews
– 2 Tbsp chopped cilantro, with some stems
– ¼ cup canola or safflower oil
– 4 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
– 2 Tbsp soy sauce
– 2 tsp brown sugar
– 1-2 jalapeño peppers, sliced (discard seeds or not, to taste)
– Juice of 1 lime (I like more🤷🏻‍♀️❤️!)
– Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions:
1. In a blender or food processor, combine cashews, cilantro, oil, garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar, jalapeño(s), lime juice (and 2 tablespoons of water that I forgot!).
2. Blend until smooth, scraping down sides as necessary. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if desired.
3. Use it on beef, chicken, shrimp, veggies, as a chip dip— anything.
4. Yum.
