VEGAN SMOKED TOMATO BUTTER

FacebookTweetPinLinkedInPrint

Vegan smoked tomato butterI’m back with another yummy easy summer recipe! Blend a bunch of summer tomatoes, sun dried tomatoes, soaked cashews, coconut oil, olive oil and seasoning. Freeze it and enjoy this vegan smoked tomato butter, a butter so amazingly umami flavored and creamy (and hard to believe plant-based!) you want to use it with every summer meal. That’s what I do 🙂

Sauces are an important – often the most important – part of a meal, but sometimes I’m too lazy to whip up anything special. Vegan butters are perfect on these lazy occasions as they provide an instant flavor boost to a meal. And instant creaminess too.

Like my other vegan butter recipe: herb butter, this tomato butter is suitable with pretty much any grilled or cooked meal. It’s insanely delicious with pasta and fresh tomatoes, but also on top of bread when I want something flavorful, salty & buttery (and must admit – I want  it often!).

Vegan smoked tomato butterI make my vegan butters in a chocolate mold and freeze them so that I can take a piece or two and let it melt on top of my warm meal. What is amazing about this cashew-based version: it melts really quickly.

Because of the rich smokey flavor, this tomato butter calls for something lighter as a companion so I like to add fresh vegetables and especially fresh herbs to my meals. So go ahead and give your grilled or roasted veggies the creamy coating they deserve 😉
