cashew dipping sauce

Makes 1-1/2 cups

1/4 lb Unsalted roasted cashews
1 Tbs Peanut oil
3/4 Cup Plain yogurt
2 Garlic cloves, minced
1 Tbs Fresh lemon juice
1 Tbs Soy sauce
Salt, to taste
1/4 tsp Cayenne pepper (optional)

In a blender or food processor, combine the cashews and peanut oil. Mix until the two form a paste, periodically scraping down the sides.
