  1. Blend soaked cashews in 1/2 cup fresh water until smooth. Set aside.

  3. Melt vegan butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium saucepan. Add onion and cook until translucent.
  4. Add rice to pan and toast until rice starts to brown. Add wine to deglaze, stirring to scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan.
