Cheez Sauce
3 cups mashed vegetables
(any combo of carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes, yams, pumpkin, butternut or other squash, golden beets, cauliflower, parsnip, etc. I think the flavor is best when several of these vegetables are used together.)
1/4 c cooked onion, pureed
1/4 c olive oil (or other bland liquid oil)
2 T tapioca starch
1 T gelatin powder
1 T apple cider vinegar
2 tsp nutritional yeast
1-2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp mustard powder (or prepared mustard)
1 tsp turmeric
1/2 c water or broth to thin the mixture if needed
Optional- cayenne, chili powder, green chilies, pimentos, fresh garlic, fresh herbs such as cilantro, dill, chives, or even curry powder.
Boil and steam the vegetables then mash/puree them.
Add all additional ingredients and puree in the blender.
