Chef's Notes

Substitutions

In place of cashews, try plain, unsweetened plant-based yogurt or tofu (silken or firm).

Navel oranges are in season, but if you can’t find them any juicy oranges will do!

Use green or yellow onion in place of the shallot.

Use extra orange juice in place of the lemon.
