Vegan Mozzarella? Moxarella!

Die deutsche Übersetzung findet ihr unter dem englischen Rezept!

 

When Mr. Squirrel first made this moxarella, I wasn't home and couldn't quite understand the excitement he transported via facebook. Then I came home and had to agree. This moxarella is amazing! It might look a bit intimidating at first, but... it's not. :) You will need a bit of time, though, as you need to soak the cashews and you'll need about 24h to let the yoghurt bacteria do their thing.

This make quite a bit of mozzarella/moxarella, but stored in salted water, it has survived about a week in our fridge. We don't really have any test result for the time afterwards because we ate up every last bit.

Mr. Squirrel didn't just make this up, he based the recipe on this one by Miyoko Schinner.

Creamy Salsify and Chickpea Salad

Die DEUTSCHE ÜBERSETZUNG findet ihr unter dem englischen Rezept!

Yet another one of those recipes that originate in the mysteries the veggie box our local organic farmer brings. We had a couple of salsify roots again and I decided not to put them in a stew like I did the last time we got them. So today, they went into a creamy salad along with chickpeas, some lettuce, and a few slices of raw zucchini.

Ingredients:

• 3 large salsify roots
• 100g of precooked chickpeas
• half of a small zucchini, cut in slices with a julienne slicer
• 4 large leafs of lettuce
• 150g of soy yoghurt
• 4 table spoons of white vinegar (make sure you get a nice, yummy vinegar, not just some cheap sour stuff)
• salt
• pepper
