Garlic Nut Cream
Allow the nuts to soak in boiling water for 10 minutes.
Drain water. Rinse the nuts in cold water.
Put the nuts in the blender with the vegetable stock. Blend until smooth.
Pour the contents of the blender into a sauce pan. Add the grated garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
Cook the sauce on low heat for just a few minutes. The sauce will reduce a little. If it gets too thick, add a little more stock to thin it out a little. Taste for salt. Add more salt if necessary.
Add butter.
The sauce can be prepared in advance. It will firm up in the fridge, so you may need to add a little more stock when you warm it up the next day.
