Hot Veg Combo, Salad or Main – serves 4
(No gluten, dairy or cane sugar; with options for soy and potato)

This spread is as delicious and multi-purpose, as it is therapeutic. Use it as a spread to replace butter, or toss with pasta, dollop over baked potato, mix with steamed vegetables, smear over cooked tofu, fish or chicken.

Even when the many options to butter substantially and tastily suffice, there will still be times when butter remains your preferred partner. Perhaps it and no other serves for the rich drip off corn on the cob, or a melting slather on just baked bread. If your lips cry, “Yes, yes”, but your hips, arteries or allergies say, “No, no”, then this is the recipe for you.
