Fried Asparagus with Mushrooms and Vegan Cheese Sauce

Delicious, green asparagus, with a flavorful, savory, vegan cheese sauce… Mhh, I love this dish! You can make it in almost no time. Just make sure to rehydrate the mushrooms first. You can use fresh mushrooms, too. That will make it milder.

Für the cheese sauce you’ll either need a high-speed blender or some time to soak the cashews. Or you use cashew butter. To add a cheesy flavor, I mixed nutritional yeast flakes in the sauce.

I eat this as it is. If you want to carb it up, I recommend you choose brown rice. You can also brush oil on the asparagus spears and grill it instead of using the frying pan.

Enjoy!

Love,
