Carrie's Notes:
* My dear friend Clara tested this recipe for me. She added bit more worchestershire sauce and cashews and served this sauce over potatoes.
* Add more or less hemp milk to the sauce for the creaminess you need. I used hemp milk as my non-dairy milk because it is very creamy and delicious. If you do not have hemp milk available, use your favorite non-dairy milk.
* Play with the spices and flavors in this sauce. It's up to you, if you like the flavor of mustard, add more! If you like the tang of lemon juice, add more! If you don't like pimientos, leave them out!
* Add more or less chick peas and cashews to create the texture you like.
* Lea and Perrins Worcestershire sauce IS gluten free in the U.S.!
* REHEATING TIPS = If you want to reheat this sauce, make sure to store the sauce separately from your pasta or vegatables! The sauce may dry out slightly upon reheating. You can simply add additional hemp milk to restore the moisture to the sauce.
