Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients: 1 medium head of cauliflower, separated into florets with hard stalks trimmed; 1 15-oz can cannellini or any white bean, drained and rinsed. If you cook from dry, use 1/2 cup of dry beans.; 1/2 cup raw cashews (if you want a more indulgent sauce, ditch the beans altogether and double the cashews.); 1 large yellow bell pepper, roasted, seeded and chopped; 1 tsp rosemary; 1 tsp sage; 1 tsp onion powder; 1 tsp garlic powder; 2 tbsp french fried onions (optional, but very nice. Remember how I tell you that replacing dairy foods and meats requires adding more flavor ingredients to get great flavor? This certainly helps); 2 tbsp nutritional yeast; Salt and ground black pepper to taste; 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (use pre-made or make your own by tossing a slice of stale bread in the food processor); 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil; 1/2 tsp rosemary; 1/2 tsp sage; 1/4 cup walnuts or almonds, or a mix of both; Salt and ground black pepper to taste
