What goes with Cashew?
Cashew kernels bring mild sweetness, fat and fine solids that can give a blended sauce body. They are different from a dairy cream even when the finished colour is similar. A whole roasted kernel and a hydrated purée provide distinct textures and require separate handling.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Cashew?
Decide whether the cashew is a crisp ingredient or the substance of the sauce. A creamy base needs enough contrast from herbs, acid or a cooked vegetable, while a whole kernel needs a reason to be in the bite beyond a general sprinkle.
