ENRICHED ALMONNAISE (a fancy name for mayo) 1/2 c raw almonds 1/2 c water or soymilk 2 rounded tsp. soy powder (optional) 1 tsp nutritional yeast 1/4 tsp (scant) garlic powder 3/4 tsp plain or seasoned salt 1 to 1 1/4 c safflower, sunflower or canola oil 3 tbsp lemon juice 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar 1. Cover almonds with boiling water and allow to cool slightly. Slip off the skins. Have all ingredients handy. 2. Place almonds in blender or food processor and grind to a fine powder. 3. Add half the water or soymilk along with the soy powder, yeast, garlic powder and seasoning. Blend well, then add the remaining water or soymilk to form a smooth cream. 4. With blender running on low, remove insert in top and drizzle in the oil in a thin stream until mixture is thick. 4. Keep blender running and add lemon juice and vinegar. Blend on low for 1 minute longer, to allow mixture to thicken to desired consistency. 5. Refrigerate tightly sealed; this will keep 10 days to 2 weeks in the refrigerator. * You can use soy powder instead of doing the almonds yourself, it comes out WAY smoother however I like the 'rough' texture myself. It's also a time saver! Totally up to you, but substitute the 1/2 cup of raw almonds for a little less than 1/2 a cup of almond powder. * If it doesn't thicken up and you're out of oil, try adding some more oil. * Don't panic if you're blender doesn't have a "low" setting it should still work! * IF it's still kind of runny, don't worry it tastes the EXACT same, just don't put it directly on your bread and pour it over the ingredients in your sandwich. You're bread won't go soggy that way! ** DON'T SKIP THE VINEGAR! This is what makes it last so long! Yes, it ** WILL smell like vinegar when you put it in, don't worry! it doesn't ** taste like vinegar.
