Vegan Gluten-Free Cachapas

-

(Makes 4 cachapas approx.)

Ingredients:

  • 4 fresh corn cobs (150-180 gr. approx. in grains per cob)
  • 4 tbsp of brown sugar or coconut sugar
  • 4 tbsp of Harina PAN (pre-cooked corn flour)
  • 1 tbsp of rice flour
  • 1 tbsp of margarine
  • 1 tsp of baking powder
  • ½ tsp of salt
  • ½ tsp of xanthan gum
  • a few tbsp of rice milk
Directions:

Mix everything well in a bowl and then blend with a hand blender, trying not to blend too much to preserve the texture of the dough. Let sit for a moment while heating a flat pan or budare to medium heat.

Scoop a bit of the dough and pour it into the pan, and wait until it gets well cooked (about 10-15 min at medium heat, checking to make sure it's easy to turn).

If the first cachapa is hard to turn it's likely because the dough's a bit watery, if that's the case, then add a little more Harina PAN/rice flour to the mixture.

They can be filled with anything you like but they are especially good with our vegan cheeses!

Vegan Potatisgratäng

I made this Potatisgratäng with a homemade cashew cream, for a change (I normally use soy cream alone). And I must say it’s worth it. Ingredients: 6 medium size potatoes 1/2 cup of cashews 1 cup soy or another plant-based cooking cream 3 cloves of garlic 1 small white onion 1 tsp coconut sugar salt pepper oregano dill Directions: Peel and cut the potatoes into fine slices and set aside. Stir fry the onion and garlic with a bit of oil or water until transparent, then add the coconut sugar and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the cashews, soy cream, herbs, and onion+garlic mix into a blender, and blend well. Taste to adjust seasoning. Then use the cream to make layers alternating with the potato slices. Cover the last cream layer with some vegan cheese (I used vegan mozzarella and parmesan). Bake at 200°C for about 30 min or until golden (I usually change the oven heat to broil the last 10 min). Enjoy! I also steamed some broccoli and stir-fried some tofu to go with this 🌱.
