It’s essentially a vegetarian version of Chipotle burrito bowls, only the sole menu item is a rice bowl with black beans, salsa, veggies, avocado, olives, optional sour cream and cheese, and something they call Tali sauce. What is this mysterious Tali sauce? What makes it vibrant neon yellow? What makes it taste so good? These were questions that kept me up at night. So I went to the drawing board to see if I could come up with something similar. And friends, something magical was born: Liquid Gold Sauce. Let’s do this! This recipe is super easy to make, requiring just 10 ingredients, 10 minutes, and 1 blender! When I asked what it was made of, a kind Whole Bowl employee mentioned a few ingredients like chickpeas, lemon, and nutritional yeast, which set me in the right direction. From there, I knew it needed the basics, like salt and garlic, but I also added some turmeric for vibrant color and tahini for creaminess. For spice, I added curry powder because it packs an efficient punch of flavor. I also added cumin for even more warmth and smokiness and (optional) cayenne for a little heat. Lastly, maple syrup balances out the acidity, heat, and salt. Simply add to a small blender with a little water and blend until creamy and smooth! You’re almost ready to pour Liquid Gold Sauce onto everything you eat. BE STOKED. We hope you love this sauce!
