Pizza de tomàquets secs i formatge d’anacards | Pizza with dried tomatoes and cashew nuts cheese

Bon dia!

Aprofitant que ahir tenia descans de l’entrenament, vaig aprofitar per “cuinar” una mica. Ho poso entre cometes, perque tampoc vam cuinar gaire! Era una recepta molt ràpida i fàcil. Així que la comparteixo amb vosaltres! És una recepta que hem extret del llibre “Delicias Veganas”, si us agrada cuinar, proveu alguna recepta d’aquest llibre. La cuina vegana és molt variada, tot i que la gent de vegades pensa el contrari, però ho fan per ignorància. Però no patiu, que aquí estic jo per dir el contrari, i més important… per demostrar-ho!

Doncs bé, ens posem el davantal i cuinem una mica, ok?

Pizza de tomàquets secs i formatge d’anacards (recepta del llibre Delicias Veganas)

Ingredients: (per 6 persones)

Per la masa (la podeu comprar feta, però vigileu que no contingui productes d’origen animal):

• 150 gr. de farina de blat
• 100 gr d’aigua
• 1 culleradeta d’aigua
• 1 culleradeta de sucre
• 15 gr de llevat fresc

Per al “formatge”:

• 100 gr d’anacards

Cuinem??

(Si compres la masa, passa directament al punt 4).

1. (Si fem la masa cassolana) En un bol barregem la farina, l’aigua, la sal, el sucre, el llevat i l’oli d’oliva.
2. Amassem bé la barreja sobre una superfície ferma i deixem reposar durant 20 minuts.
3. Empolvorem la superfície amb una mica de farina i estirem la masa. Introduïm en una safata per a pizza.
4. Punxem la masa amb l’ajuda d’una forquilla i recobrim amb el tomàquet triturat.
5. Fiquem al forn la masa durant 5 minuts a 180ºC.
6. Retirem la masa del forn
7. Per fer el “formatge” triturem els anacards, l’aigua, el llevat de cervesa i la sal en el got d’una batedora elèctrica fins obtenir una salsa llisa i sense grumolls.
8. Tallem els tomàquets cherrys en mitges llunes i els tomàquets secs en tires finetes.
9. Decorem la pizza amb el formatge d’anacards, els tomàquets secs, els tomàquets cherrys i les fulles de ruca. Fornegem a 180ºC durant 15 minuts.

My first vegan protein waffle recipe!

Some weeks ago I wanted to create or try a recipe for a vegan protein waffle. Until now, I hadn’t found any recipe that convince me. But, finally, while I was reading the MileHighHealthy blog, I found THE recipe.

I finally decided to try this recipe and it’s delicious. My own recipe actually has 30 gr of protein (6gr for every piece of 35gr). I’m gonna add the nutrition values with the recipe.

VEGAN PROTEIN WAFFLES

• 60 gr of oat flour
• 1 scoop protein powder (I’ve used Vanilla-flavoured aptonia protein powder)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• Pinch of cinnamon
• 1/2 cup almond milk plus more as needed

First of all, mix dry ingredientes together and then add milk, blending well. You can you more than 1/2 cup almond milk if you need to create a smoother consistency (I did)

Heat your waffle iron and cook as usual.

That’s all! In less of five minutes you have my waffles ready!

The resulting waffle weighs 170g (394kcal) but I prefer to cut it into 5 parts in order to divide the intake and get a lighter breakfast.

The nutritional values are the following:

For the entire piece (170gr):

• Calories: 394 kcal
• Carbs: 50 gr
• Fat: 8 gr
• Protein: 30 gr

And for the small piece (35gr)

• Calories: 81 gr
• Carbs: 10 gr
• Fat: 2 gr
• Protein: 6 gr

In the future, I’ll try a cleaner version of this recipe.

Carrot Purée Recipe

Hello!

Today, I want to share with a new recipe. It’s very easy, quick and healthy. It’s a low calorie recipe – I am a huge advocate for healthy and quick recipes.

I have some carrots in the fridge and already starting to get bad. What can I do with carrots? Eureka! A creamy purée. A healthy starter for my meals.

Ingredients:

• Carrots, cut into 1 cm.
• Linseed oil, or other vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon ginger powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast

Let’s Cook!

Put a small saucepan with water to boil. Boil carrots until tender. Drain and let cool.

Put carrots in a blender or food processor and add remaining ingredients and beat until it is a creamy, scraping the sides of the food processor to be integrated as much as you need everything right. Add water if it’s necessary.

Test and adjust salt and other spices.

Here, I have served with fried onions.

My bread machine.

I don’t remember if I had updated with a post about my bread machine. If not, today is the perfect moment. 😉

When I became vegan about 4 years ago, I realized that much bread I found in grocery stores or restaurants containing milk, butter or preservatives (E-xxx). And as I like to know what my body intakes, I decided to buy a bread machine. By chance, for Xmas, my father gave me a breadmaker. A simple bread machine, but with 10 different programs. But not just for bread. With it, besides knead, leaven and bake bread, also makes other bodies, such as pizza dough, biscuits, bread, yogurt, etc.. and even for the preparation of jams or other dishes, as it will not be a small oven with extra kneading function (solely or may be baked dough only).Althought the first attempts weren’t very easy, with time I have learned to cook my bread there.

Little by little, between the machine and I, emerged a lovely relationship, and nowadays I can’t live without it. My bread is healthier, without preservatives; how I want. 😉

Up to today, I have tried different types of bread, and as testing goes, I’d like to sharing them with you. While I’m writing this, my bread machine is working right now. For this week, I have chosen a simple whole-wheat rye bread.

Normally, I adapt all the recipes I find. So, if you have a recipe for these kind of machines, please share with me and I’ll be gathering here of course indicating who gives me the recipe.

Have you a nice day!

Smile!!
