This recipe is from Veganomicon, and it is one of the steps in Isa's vegan version of Moussaka. However, this wonderful creamy blend is a great vegan substitute for Bechamel sauce. I particularly like to add this to baked pasta dishes, vegan lasagnas, or add a bit to make a regular tomato marinara sauce rich and creamy!
Ingredients:
1/2 cup pine nuts
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 lb silken tofu
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 garlic clove, minced
nutmeg, to taste
salt and white pepper, to taste
Directions:
1. Blend pine nuts and lemon juice in a food processor or blender until smooth.
2. Add silken tofu, cornstarch, garlic, a pinch of nutmeg, salt and white pepper to taste, and pulse to combine.
3. Use in place of bechamel to add creaminess to tomato sauces for baked pasta dishes!
