PRETZELS & BEER SAUCE

8 November 2019 by Lisette Kreischer Leave a Comment

Pretzels using basically two ingredients, ready in an instant? Really?!? Really! Sure, these bites aren’t going to be winning anyone a medal of culinary achievement, but they make for a crisp, toasty vehicle for a delicious sauce. And today, that sauce is a cheesy beer sauce: an American bar food classic. The magic of this yogurt/flour dough is that it can be used for so many things: last minute flatbread, pita and bagels to name a few. So if you’ve ever got a serious carb emergency, give it a try! We’re all about easy peasy recipes that are perfect for kitchen newbies and experts alike.

Yield 4 servings

INGREDIENTS

Beer cheese sauce
1 cup cashews
1/4 cup dark beer
1 cup non-dairy milk
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp vegan worcestershire sauce
2 tsp soy sauce
salt to taste
Pretzel bites
1 tbsp baking soda
2 cups self rising flour
1.5 – 2 cups plain vegan yogurt (Alpro Go On is perfect)
a bit of aquafaba, non-dairy milk, or cornstarch dissolved in water to use as an ‘eggwash’
seasonings of your choice: sea salt, pepper, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic powder, onion powder, mixed together to form about tbsp total

INSTRUCTIONS

Bring a kettle to boil and pour water over cashews and let sit while you make the pretzel bites. Alternately, soak cashews overnight.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Combine flour and yogurt in a large bowl until it forms a large ball (start with 1.5 cups yogurt and increase if needed). The dough should be tacky and quite wet but combined well.

Transfer dough to a very well floured surface and cut into 4 equally sized portions. Roll each portion into a long log. Cut each log into 10-12 ‘pillows’ to form a total of 48 pretzels.

OPTIONAL: While preparing dough, bring a medium pot of water to boil and dissolve baking soda. Quickly dunk the pillows into the water for a moment, remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a prepared baking sheet. This additional step makes for a crisper, shinier crust.

Brush with “egg wash” and sprinkle generously with seasoning. Bake for 20-25 minutes until lightly brown.
While pretzel bites are baking, drain cashews. Add together with beer, 1/2 cup of non-dairy milk, nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, worcestershire sauce and soy sauce in a high-speed blender or puree with an immersion blender until smooth. Add a bit more milk if needed. Transfer to a small pot and heat on medium heat. Whisk constantly as you slowly add the rest of the milk in a steady stream. Bring to a simmer (but don’t let it boil) and remove from heat.

As the flavor will be affected by the beer your choose, give it a taste adjust seasonings (and add salt) as needed.

Serve pretzels with the cheesy beer sauce and dip like a maniac.


PRETZELS & KAZIGE BIERSAUS

Pretzels maken van maar twee ingrediënten en klaar in no time? Hell yeah. En nee, met deze snacks zul je geen culinaire medaille winnen, maar ze zorgen wel voor een knapperige lekkernij waar je goed mee kunt dippen in een super goeie saus. En vandaag is die saus een kazige biersaus; een Amerikaanse klassieker. De magie van dit yoghurt/meeldeeg is dat het voor zoveel dingen gebruikt kan worden: last-minute flatbread, pita en bagels om er maar een paar te noemen. Dus als je ooit een ernstige koolhydraat craving hebt, probeer dit recept dan eens! MAN.EAT.PLANT. is helemaal voor eenvoudige recepten die perfect zijn voor experts en voor nieuwkomers in de keuken.

Voor 4 porties

INGREDIENTEN

Kazige biersaus
150 g cashewnoten
60 ml donker bier
240 ml plantaardige melk
4 el gistvlokken
1 tl gerookte paprika
1 tl veganistische worcestershiresaus
2 tl sojasaus
zout naar smaak

Pretzels
1 el bakpoeder
240 g zelfrijzende bloem
150-200 ml vegan yoghurt (Alpro Go On is perfect)
een beetje aquafaba, plantaardige melk of maizena opgelost in water om het geheel een glans te geven
kruiden naar keuze: zeezout, peper, sesamzaad, maanzaad, knoflookpoeder, uienpoeder, samen gemengd tot ongeveer el totaal

BEREIDING

Week de cashewnoten een nacht of giet er kokend water over en laat staan terwijl je de pretzels maakt.

Verwarm de oven voor op 200 ° C. Bekleed een bakplaat met bakpapier of een siliconen bakmat.

Combineer voor het deeg bloem en yoghurt in een grote kom tot het een grote bal vormt (begin met 1,5 kop yoghurt en verhoog indien nodig). Het deeg moet plakkerig en behoorlijk nat zijn, maar goed gemengd.

Leg het deeg op een zeer goed bebloemd oppervlak en snijd het in 4 gelijke porties. Rol elke portie in een lang blok. Snijd elk blok in 10-12 ‘kussens’ om in totaal 48 pretzels te vormen.

Breng een middelgrote pan met water aan de kook en los hierin het bakpoeder op zodra het kookt. Laat iedere pretzel een ogenblik in het kokende water glijden, verwijder met een lepel en leg het op een bakplaat.Deze stap zorgt voor een knapperigere korst. Bestrijk de prezels met het glansmiddel en bestrooi royaal met kruiden. Bak 20-25 minuten tot ze lichtbruin zijn.

Terwijl pretzels bakken, laat je de cashewnoten uitlekken. Doe samen met bier, 1/2 kopje plantaardige melk, gistvlokken, gerookte paprikapoeder, worcestershiresaus en sojasaus in een sterke blender. Voeg indien nodig wat meer melk toe. Breng over in een kleine pan en verwarm op middelhoog vuur. Klop constant terwijl je langzaam de rest van de melk in een gestage stroom toevoegt. Breng aan de kook (maar laat het niet koken) en haal van het vuur.

Omdat de smaak wordt beïnvloed door het bier dat je kiest, kun je het zo nodig aan smaak aanpassen (en zout toevoegen).

Serveer de pretzels met de saus en dip als een malle.

This delicious orzo dish with roasted vegetables takes little time to make and is bursting with flavour. The tuna-like flavour of @goodcatchfoods Fish Free Tuna by our friend @dereksarno goes well with savoury flavour bombs like olives and capers, and the creamy orzo provides an excellent stage for this goodness.

Ok ok, it might be raining tofu & beans here in Th Ok ok, it might be raining tofu & beans here in The Netherlands, so maybe it is not the best time to fire up that BBQ and start roasting the hell out of those veggies. But we pray for sunshine and when that sun starts shining tofu, seitan, tempeh and mushrooms will hit a bowl of marinade and will be roasted like there is no tomorrow.

The time we've all been waiting for is finally her The time we've all been waiting for is finally here. The summer family BBQ! The best time for a good toast under the sun, and a tasty roast too! Roasted tempeh and grilled tofu topped with tasty sauces are the perfect ingredients to set the summer vibes we’ve been looking forward to.

And yes, you read right. In the family summer BBQ we imagine, animals are more than welcome to attend as long as they are enjoying the moment with us, and not there as a sacrifice for us.

Sam and her family would be the first to say thanks for leaving meat behind this summer - and hopefully forever more! Sam is a mother of 251 piglets, of which only 9 are here today due to the industry. She became one of the lucky ones in February 2021 when she was rescued while pregnant with her little ones by @meliefanimalsanctuary. In wanting to show the spirit of those behind the isolated walls of the meat industry, House of Animals will be launching a documentary about Sam’s story and those of her piglets in 2022.

This summer and all days to come, let’s honor Sam and all the souls we’ve lost as a result of the industry by eating plant-based, succulent BBQs! Inspired by Sam’s story, House of Animals created a recipe book with the help of us, @maartjeborst and @lisettekreischer, which will make your summer glimmer with taste, rich flavors and joy. Download it for free on the website @mymomsam (link in our bio).

SUNNY SIDES UP Drum rolls, please! FAMILY.EAT.PL SUNNY SIDES UP

Drum rolls, please!

FAMILY.EAT.PLANT. has hit planet Earth and here is the first recipe to go online! And certainly not the least! Yes, we know, what you see here in the pic looks suspiciously like a sandwich with sunny-side-up eggs. But none of that!

What you see are peaches (or apricots) with a cheesy sauce. Maartje’s father used to make this recipe often on the weekend. Super easy, super yummy.

You can keep it plain and simple by just making the cheesy sauce, and prep the toast with the sauce and peaches, or you can go wild and throw some slices of vegan ham on there.

Recipe now up on the blog (link in bio).

Dear peeps! It has been so long! How are you all d Dear peeps! It has been so long! How are you all doing?!

We have been absent for almost a year on this page. How time flies. When C hit and the measures influenced our lives as entrepreneurs we had to rearrange some stuff. We did not sit still though. Maartje moved to another city, published an amazing vegan baking book Taart ende Koeck and got pregnant ;-). Lisette co-wrote the book DOG.EAT.PLANT., became part of the rescue operation and project @mymomsam and unfortunately lost her biggest friend in the whole world, Mr. Pooh.

WHAT.A.JOURNEY. Life is just miraculous and everything always changes.

In January we embarked on the journey of making a vegan family cookbook which had been a long dream of ours. It turned out to be a magical process. Everything flowed like never before. Also, the book took on a whole new meaning for both of us. On the day we started shooting the recipes Maartje shared the extraordinary news of expecting a baby and after the last day of shooting little Pooh, Lisette's biggest family member passed away.

Making the book was an emotional project, but not in a hard way. It turned out to be very healing actually. The publisher was the kindest and helped in every way she could.

This whole book breathes family. And as far as we are concerned... family is a feeling.

A family is a co-creation of beings - human, more than human, etc. And that includes tasty, diverse, and good food. Food that supports everything and everyone, including this Earth. 

FAMILY.EAT.PLANT. has become a delicious cookbook, this time with family recipes for young and old. In addition to recipes, this book also contains interviews with the inspiring and amazing plant-powered families.

We cannot wait to have a copy in our hands and are counting down the days.

Want to have a copy in your hands too ;-)? You can pre-order this book now via link in bio. The book will launch next week and we will share some of the recipes over here (in EN & NL).

Dear peeps, We have let our minds wander in regar Dear peeps,

We have let our minds wander in regards to the new reality we are finding ourselves in and to say it with the words of @zachbushmd (check out his posts!) we 'strongly believe there is too much bandwidth of the collective human consciousness spent on this topic’ so we are not gonna add anything to that besides a few things:

1. @thedutchweedburger just posted an amazing article on their blog that to us says it all

2. we are not quite sure if we will be able to continue our friday posts during the coming period, but will do our best to offer easy and delicious plant based inspiration, maybe through our stories

3. because we see a lot of sadness on social media right now we thought this recipe might cheer you up a bit. Just because a smile can do so much for yourself, your body and the world around you.

We created these Pupcakes in service of @worldanimalprotectionnl and you can find the recipe via their website (link in bio) in Dutch. If you need English, Google is your friend ;-). These vegan puppy dogs are worth a translation.

Stay safe!

Maartje & Lisette
