Ingredients:

Cilantro Cashew Sauce

Directions:

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the potatoes and let them for about 15 minutes until they are cooked through. Use a fork or toothpick to test. Remove the potatoes from the water and let them cool down. 
  2. While the potatoes cook, bring a second pot of water to a boil. Blanch the green peas for about one minute, drain and transfer to an ice water bath for 15 seconds. Remove from the water and drain.
  3. Once the potatoes are cooled, carefully peel them. Dice the potatoes and add them to a large bowl. Combine with the chickpeas, green peas, red onion, and garlic.
  4. Prepare the sauce. In a blender, combine the cilantro, cashews, water, jalapeño, lemon juice, turmeric, paprika, cumin, coriander, and sea salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  5. Drizzle the sauce over the potato mixture and mix gently until the ingredients are all coated with sauce. Garnish with additional cilantro and serve.
