Today, I made this tasty spiced cashew & black bean spread. This is one tasty & easy to make spread too. I soaked my unroasted & unsalted raw cashews in water for a few hours & then drained them well. This way, the cashews become more healthy, easier to digest & very creamy too. You know by now, that I love making my own invented cashews spreads, don’t you?
I am sure that you loved my Vegan & Gluten-free cashew, pumpkin & chocolate spread, my vegan cashew & pear spread, my vegan strawberry & cashew cheese spreadΒ & my vegan cashew rocket( arugula) cheese spread.
So, I am pretty sure that you also will love this tasty vegan & gluten-free spread! I used it today in a lovely sandwich but you could also use it as a lovely dip with corn tortilla chips. You choose, it is up to you!
Recipe: For a lot of vegan & gluten-free spread
Ingredients:
** For the bean & cashew smoked curry spread:
1 cup or soaked, rinsed & drained raw cashews
1 cup Β + 1/2 cup of black adzuki beans from a can, rinsed & drained well
2 teaspoons +1/4 teaspoon hot curry powder/ I use Sharwoods hot curry powder
1 teaspoon Β + 1/8 teaspoon of smoked sea salt
black pepper: 10 grins
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon shalot powder
fruity olive oil: 6 teaspoons
** For the sandwich:
some veganaise/ I use home-made
1 vegan triangledΒ waldkorn roll
a handful leek sprouts
8 fresh rocket leaves ( arugula ), cleaned & washed & pad dry on kitchen paper
the home-made vegan curry spiced smoked cashew & black bean spread
If you use a GF bread roll: the sandwich will be GF too! π
1. Place all the ingredients into a food processor & blitz until 3/4 smooth. You still want some pieces of the cashews & black beans left to see. I love it that way. Taste! It has to taste fabulously. You can still taste the hot curry power, the smoked sea salt, the beans & the cashews at the back in your throat. Yum!
2. I made this healthy sandwich & ate it after my yoga class: so full of nutrients & good stuff too! π Take your vegan waldkorn bread roll, aka triangle & cut it horizontally into 2. Smear the bottom of your bread roll thickly with your home-made spread. Place a handful of leak sprouts over the top, equally divided. Top with 8 rocket leaves, evenly divided. Smear the top inner bun with veganaise, but not too much. Top your bun on the rest & enjoy instantly! It is crunchy, tasty & the flavours work beautifully together! π xxx
Note: If you don’t make the sandwich, it is great smeared on vegan crackers or use it as a healthy & tasty dip for vegan corn chips! MMM,…either way! Store in the fridge & place cling film over the bowl. It will keep for 5 days in the fridge, if it lasts that long! π

Delish, Sophie!!

Mmmm….looks very healthy and delicious. I would love that for lunch.
I had this for dinner!
Sounds delicious, Sophie! You’re getting so creative with these vegan dishes!

Thanks, dear dad! xxx
Yum look at that sandwich! I could take a bite right NOW π
hihihihi!
That’s a great looking sandwich, Sophie. I love the look of that roll. I haven’t seen rolls like that in Sydney. What a great cashew spread – I love how you add a touch of heat to it xx
Thanks, Charlie! xx
Hi Sophie!
I was making something with soaked cashews yesterday, and I thought of you!
This sandwich looks scrumptious. Yum yum!
π
Oh I am such a HUGE fan of cashew-based recipes too. How great are they for making creamy spreads and things? LOVE! This sounds and looks delicious too. I can’t wait to try it. π
Thanks, Bex! I made your home-made feta tofu recipe & loved it too!
I guess now would be a bad time to say that I had a chocolate-cookie for my lunch? LOL Wow, this is one nutritious sandwich. I better get started making it to make up for my sins today. π
Yes, yes, yes, Carolyn! π
Love this, Sophie. I can just taste this on my favorite grain bread!
(Angel biscuits can be for breakfast with honey….I never use butter as I did in the photo….or with a soup or stew.)
Thnaks, dear Barbara! π
This looks like a such a yummy lunch! I just made a curried dressing using almonds instead of cashews and I put it on a kale salad! I have some leftover, and I would love to try it on a sandwich! Maybe I’ll add beans to thicken it up. What a great idea!!
That idea would be tasty too! Thanks, Koko!
Never thought of growing leek sprouts, should give it a try.
I just bought them ile this in my local supermarket.
That is quite the delicious sandwich my friend π
Cheers

What a healthy sandwich! Perfect and filling for lunch.
So filling & ooh so tasty too!
That looks so yummy. I love to make spreads!
Me too! π Enjoy it all, dear Tammy!
I wouldn’t have thought of cashews with black beans– yumm. And that bread looked super. You have much better bread in Europe than we do is California. Thanks once again Sophie for a great idea…
Enjoy it too, dear Rhonda!
That spread looks amazing…thx so much!
Enjoy it, my good friend!
Curry on a sandwich?? Sounds very interesting, I’d try that!
It is a must, I say! π
