Cashew Gravy Recipe for My Dad

My mom could make an amazing cashew gravy.  I think this is where her recipe started and now cashew butter is readily available at our grocer, so I'm going to give this a whirl using cashew butter instead of ground nuts.  I have a feeling she added a dash of tamari soy sauce and nutritional yeast to her version.   This compliments cauliflower very well. 

Cashew Gravy from Laurel’s Kitchen

Yield 4 servings or 2 cups

1/2 cup ground cashews
3 Tbs whole wheat flour
2 Tbs oil
1/4 onion
2 c vegetable stock or water
1/4 c chopped parsley
1 tsp salt

Saute onion until soft, stir in flour & cashew meal & cook for three minutes stirring constantly.  Add the stock & salt & stir to blend all the ingredients  Bring the mixture to a boil, then simmer until thick.  Add the parsley.
