Vegetarian dessert recipe: Biscuit salami – keksz szalami recept – receta de salam de biscuiti

Friday, January 20th, 2012

My mother used to make this a lot when i was we were little, my sister and I. I remember that when she would make it during the winter, we would always keep the rolls on our balcony, since the temperature was close to the one in the fridge :)

From own experience I can confirm, that they can stay OK for up to a month, if kept in a cool place (like a fridge). You would actually get very well blended flavors!

This was my first try at this recipe, since here in Germany i was unable (yet) to find the “household biscuits”: very thick and rather sugarless biscuits. However the “Petit beurre” biscuits i found did the job very very well!! Just don’t break them into too small pieces, and all will be well.

For 2 rolls you will need:
500g biscuits
8 tblsp sugar
200ml water
200 g butter
3 tblsp unsweetened cocoa powder (adjust to own taste)
Optional 1: raisins, chopped soft jellies (Haribo), chopped nuts, chopped dried fruits
Optional 2: shredded coconuts
1 tblsp brandy / rum
1/2 cup water

If you use “Optional 2″, make sure you don’t add too much, as it will take up some of the chocolate liquid, and the salamis might become too dry!

Enjoy!

Vegan BoJangles BoBerry Biscuits Recipe – Vegan Blueberry Biscuit – Crave Episode 1

Monday, January 9th, 2012

How to make vegan BoJangles BoBerry Biscuits or blueberry biscuits?

I grew up in Atlanta, GA and we did not have BoJangles. We had Popeyes, which I enjoyed immensely, but no BoJangles. So when BoJangles hit Clemson, SC my Junior year of college I had no clue what the uproar was about. During this time I was mostly vegetarian, so I can not really remember tasting the chicken at BoJangles, but I do remember having the Cajun Pintos, Seasoned Fries, Bo-Tato Rounds, and BOBERRY BISCUITS. Oh my goodness gracious. Talk about a sad day when I went completely vegan and I had to pass BoJangles everyday and I had to pass up of those BoBerry Biscuits. What an even sadder and guiltier day when I would give into those non-vegan cravings and eat that BoBerry Biscuit anyway. I am a much stricter vegan these days, but I thank God there is no BoJangles or BoBerry Biscuits in my vicinity.

On a recent trip to North Carolina I ran into my blueberry biscuit nemesis, and I said forget it, I will learn how to make vegan BoBerry Biscuits at home!

Vegan BoBerry Biscuits Recipe

Ingredients:
For BoBerry Biscuits:
2 cups all purpose flour
1/3 cup raw sugar
3 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup Almond Milk, very cold
6 tablespoons margarine, very cold, I prefer Earth Balance
3 ounces dried blueberries
For Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

Directions:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. In a large bowl, sift together self-rising flour, raw sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Stir in almond milk. Once the almond milk is absorbed, add 5 tablespoons of vegan margarine in small chunks, as well as the dried blueberries.

Fold Boberry biscuit dough until vegan margarine and blueberries are well distributed. Work quickly, you do not want the margarine to begin to melt. Place dough on a baking sheet by the spoon full and bake for 7 — 12 minutes until golden brown. Once they are done, paint with 1 tablespoon of melted vegan margarine.

For glaze: In a small mixing bowl, combine powdered sugar, water, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Use a fork to drizzle the glaze over the vegan BoBerry Biscuits.

Enjoy your BoBerry Biscuits, I know I will and with no BoJangles, butter, or milk in sight!

Vegan Potato Gnocchi Recipe

Monday, December 26th, 2011

Gnocchi reminds me of dumplings mixed with pasta, but because I was culturally sheltered growing up and then went vegan, I have never actually tried Gnocchi before. Chef John on FoodWishes made Gnocchi and it did not look too hard. So here is my stab at vegan potato gnocchi. I hope it taste as good as it does in my dreams. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VA0KT97MRM8

Vegan Potato Gnocchi Recipe
Adapted from http://veganyumyum.com/2008/03/gnocchi-with-thyme-vinaigrette-and-lemon-cashew-cream/

Ingredients:
2 peeled baked Russet Potatoes
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup spaghetti sauce

Directions:

Push baked and peeled potatoes through a strainer or potato ricer onto a plate. Allow potatoes to sit for 10-15 minutes until they return to room temperature and dry.

Gather potatoes into flat disk and sprinkle half of the flour over it.

Knead the dough until soft and well combined. Add in more flour as needed.

Take a handful of dough and roll it out into a snake like rope about 1/2 inch thick.

Cut the dough into 1/2 inch pillows and place onto a flour dusted plate.

Gently place the vegan gnocchi into salted, boiling water. After 1-2 minutes they should float to the top.

Allow to cook for about 30 more seconds before removing with a slotted spoon. Place vegan gnocchi directly into hot spaghetti sauce or any other desired sauce.

I hope you enjoy this vegan gnocchi, I know I will.
