Sauces

Sauce can make or break a recipe. You want it to be flavorful without overpowering the rest, or delicate enough to make whatever it tops taste even better. Here are my recipes for the best vegetarian and vegan sauces, from basic to exotic to the ultimate in creamy comfort food.

Pico de Gallo Salsa

Also called salsa mexicana and salsa cruda, this spicy tomato sauce is ubiquitous in Mexican restaurants. Serve it with tortilla chips, quesadillas, omelettes, or anything else that needs a bit of zing.

Pistachio Pesto Ⓥ

Pistou Sauce Ⓥ

Pistou is the French version of pesto - the only differences are that there are no pine nuts and the Parmesan cheese is commonly replaced with coarse salt, making it safe for vegans.

Quick BBQ Sauce Ⓥ

Sweet and spicy barbecue sauce that can be just a little chunky or perfectly smooth.
