Deliciously simple! Healthy nachos that give a good kick
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Woolworths ambassador, Dani Stevens tells you how you can make a deliciously simple meal for you and the whole family.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I love to make things simple and this recipe is exactly that. All you will need for this creamy vegan cheesy sauce is milk, oil, flour and Macro Nutritional Yeast Flakes – my secret cheesy ingredient!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To get more of that cheesy vegan flavour, I’ve also added onion powder and mustard. You can also spice up this super creamy cheesy sauce so many ways with garlic or fresh herbs. You name it, it works!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This cheesy vegan substitute goes hand in hand with my Mexican Bean Mix using the Macro Certified Organic Mexican Style 3 Bean Mix which is delicious in nachos, tacos or burritos.</span></p>
<p><strong>Cheesy Nacho Sauce</strong></p>
<p><strong>Serves 4</strong></p>
<p><strong>Ingredients</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-weight: 400;">5 tbsps Woolworths Free From Gluten Plain Flour</span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: 400;">4 cups plant based milk of choice (I use soy)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: 400;">1/2 cup Macro Nutritional Yeast Flakes</span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: 400;">6 tbsp vegan butter or Macro Certified Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil</span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: 400;">1 tbsp Dijon mustard</span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: 400;">1/2 tsp onion powder </span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Salt and pepper to taste</span></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Method</strong></p>
<p>1. Heat butter or oil in a saucepan and allow to bubble before sprinkling in flour.</p>
<p>2. Stir continuously as the flour begins to cook and change colour, add the milk slowly and stir vigorously to avoid any lumps.</p>
<p>3. Continue to stir until the sauce begins to thicken. If too thick add more milk.</p>
<p>4. Stir in the mustard, onion powder and nutritional yeast. Season with salt and pepper.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tip: I love using this sauce as a base with other vegetables such as adding cooked mushrooms for a delicious mushroom sauce. </span></p>
