There are 3 parts to this special multilayered Chickpea Cashew blend: Tomato sauce, and Cashew Veggie Casserole. A vegetable dish mixed with a unique cashew chickpea sauce that differs from traditional béchamel sauce transforms this recipe into a veganized version.

The aroma and texture of cashew nuts are sweet, buttery, and crunchy. When cashews are soaked in water and then crushed, they release a creamy effect that distinguishes them from other nuts. Their robust flavor holds up well in recipes with many high-taste ingredients – whether in sweet dishes like cheesecakes and chocolate desserts or savory Indian dishes such as kurma and Kadhai Paneer. Chickpeas add a distinctive note to this veganized gratin.

Apart from numerous health benefits, cashew nuts are prized for their high tryptophan content, which supports the transformation into serotonin – the “happy molecule” that boosts mood and well-being.

Cashews are deemed highly beneficial for health. Consider purchasing raw, unsalted cashews and soaking them before use, whenever possible, to reduce the effects of phytic acid. Dry roasting cashews can enhance their antioxidant properties. In summary, cashews are rich in fiber, protein, healthy fats, and a diversity of vitamins and minerals.
