½teaspoonsalt, divided

2tablespoonsunsalted vegan butter (such as Miyoko’s), divided

¾cupchopped yellow onion

Directions

Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a small saucepan over high heat. Add cashews and boil until tender, 13 to 15 minutes. Drain the cashews and transfer to a blender; add the remaining 3/4 cup water. Secure the lid on the blender and remove the center piece to allow steam to escape. Place a clean towel over opening. Process until smooth, about 45 seconds. Add nutritional yeast, vinegar, garlic powder, mushroom powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt; process until incorporated, about 15 seconds.

Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add spinach in batches, folding with tongs until all the spinach fits in the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until completely wilted, about 3 minutes. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Add the cashew cream mixture and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon butter; reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring constantly, until heated through, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)

  • Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
