1/3 red pepper, ribs and seeds removed
2 and 1/2 Tbsp green onion -diced
2 Tbsp fresh cilantro- minced
1 tsp garlc minced
1/4 tsp salt
pinch crushed red pepper flakes
Place cashews in a small bowl and add enough water to barely cover. Let stand for a few hours. Then place in a blender (or use immerser) and blend until very smooth. Assemble rest of ingredients and add to ‘butter’. Serve immediately or place in a glass container with a tight fitting lid. Place in fridge and use between 3-4 days.
