this dish is. a. DREAM.
i had some cilantro about to go bad, a ton of miso in my fridge (as always), and some chickpea pasta. i didn’t know what exactly i should make, but i knew it would also include lime, because cilantro + lime = heart eyes emoji. i’m actually one of those people where cilantro tastes like soap (i had the gene verified in like seventh grade during a biology class experiment), but i like it when used sparingly and specifically. i think paired with fresh citrus and a fatty base, cilantro SHINES. anyway, this is so easy. just soak your cashews (30 minutes in a lil boiling H20 is all ya need if you’re lazy like me), steam your cauliflower, and BLEND!
