Make the rouille: combine the drained cashews, garlic, smoked paprika, cayenne, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and 2 tablespoons of water in a blender. Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed. Add the remaining water 1 tablespoon at a time until the rouille is thick but spreadable. Transfer to a small bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.
