Super Easy Asparagus Hollandaise Sauce (Vegan, Gluten-free, Oil-free)

With spring rolling in, the first asparagus are for sale in the shops. Yay! In Europe I was used to having white Asparagus only. Here in New Zealand you can only get the green version of it. It’s just as delicious though 🙂

I’ve tried to create a creamy hollandaise sauce to go with it, using blended cashew nuts and the cooking water of the asparagus as the main ingredients. I was amazed by the result! We have been making this sauce so many times now. With or without asparagus – it’s so delicious and super easy and quick to make. Great, when you don’t have much time.

Update 2020: I have changed the original recipe slightly. It is now not only vegan and gluten-free but also without oil.
