Vegan, Gluten Free BBQ Sauce

1/2 cup/125ml ketchup
3 Tablespoons/45ml/41g Earth Balance
2 Tablespoons/30g fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 Tablespoon/15g chili powder
1 teaspoon/5ml salt
1 teaspoon/5ml s dry mustard
11 teaspoon/5ml paprika
1/2 teaspoon/2ml freshly ground black pepper
2 Tablespoons/30ml gluten free, vegan Worcestershire sauce
4 Tablespoons/60ml distilled vinegar
4 Tablespoons/60m water
3 Tablespoons/45ml brown sugar

Combine all of the ingredients in a small sauce pan and heat over medium-low heat,stirring occasionally, for 20-25 minutes.

Filling

Vegan Gluten Free BBQ
2 cups/460g ground cauliflower florets from 1 small head of cauliflower
3/4 cup/72g almond meal/flour
3 Tablespoons/45ml golden flax seeds, ground
1/2 cup/140ml plus 1 Tbsp. water
1/3 cup vegan, g-free BBQ sauce from above, or your favorite sauce
pinch of salt

Preheat the oven to 450°F/230C/Gas 6 and line a baking sheets with parchment paper. Lightly rub olive oil on the parchment paper to prevent sticking and set aside.

Combine the ground flax seed and water and set aside for 4-5 minutes.

Chop cauliflower into florets and pulse in the food processor until the cauliflower looks like couscous or small grains of rice. Do not over process!
In a large bowl combine all of the ingredients and mix well to combine; the mixture will be wet. Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out evenly over the surface. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until cooked through. Then remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool.

Once cooled, slice into strips and use a spatula to carefully lift from the parchment paper. It will be pretty fragile and that’s OK. *If it breaks don’t worry about it, it is going to be piled high on a bun, covered in onions and smothered in sauce. No one will care!

*The golden flax and water in this recipe can be substituted for 3 eggs if you are not on a vegan diet.

Assemble:
Cauliflower BBQ strips
1-2 large white onions, caramelized
4 hamburger buns, toasted
BBQ Sauce

Pile toasted g-free buns high with the cauliflower BBQ strips, ladle piping hot BBQ sauce over the top, and stack caramelized onions on top. My only other suggestion would be to grab a napkin!

Italian Easter Bread Recipe

The Italians love to celebrate holidays with food and Easter is one of those special holidays.  The breads come in every shape and size. Many are sweet, braided  and wrapped around eggs.

Braised Lettuce (Laitues Braises): A Take On Julia Child’s Recipe

You can use almost any lettuce, such as chicory, or frisee, or Boston Bib if you are busing large heads, cut them in half. We made these pescartarian because of the shrimp stock, but vegan is easy with vegetable stock, or if serving with beef, a  beef stock and bacon. Braised lettuce is a delicious garnish for poultry, white meats such as veal or pork, or steamed white fish. It can be the main accompanied by a warm sweet potato salad. Serves 4 4 heads Romaine lettuce hearts  4 thick slices of bacon (if making not vegetarian or vegan), cut into lardon strips 1 small onion , diced 2 carrots, diced 1 tablespoon/15g plus 1/2 tablespoon/7 butter divided  1 teaspoon/5ml olive oil 1/2 cup/125ml shrimp or seafood stock (see notes above) 1/2 cup/125ml cup white wine or dry white vermouth bouquet garni: 1 parsley branch, 1 branch of thyme,1  bay leaf tied to a cheesecloth ½ tablespoon butter 1 tablespoon parsley Trim stems of lettuce and remove wilted leave

Why Chocolate Feels So Good ... It's All Down To Lubrication

  Date: January 13, 2023 Source: University of Leeds Summary: Scientists have decoded the physical process that takes place in the mouth when a piece of chocolate is eaten, as it changes from a solid into a smooth emulsion that many people find totally irresistible. By analyzing each of the steps, the interdisciplinary research team hope it will lead to the development of a new generation of luxury chocolates that will have the same feel and texture but will be healthier to consume. During the moments it is in the mouth, the chocolate sensation arises from the way the chocolate is lubricated, either from ingredients in the chocolate itself or from saliva or a combination of the two. Fat plays a key function almost immediately when a piece of chocolate is in contact with the tongue. After that, solid cocoa particles are released and they become important in terms of the tactile sensation, so fat deeper inside the chocolate plays a rather limited role and could be reduced without having

9 Professional Styling Tips From Odysseus Bogioglou

Sharing from Odysseus Bogioglou ---wonderful Greek Chef and Food Stylist 1)Garnishing – Garnish has to be something you eat and not there just to decorate. 2) Po sitioning – There is talk of a virtual clock where meat is at 2 o’clock, starch at 10 and veggies at 6. 3) Less is more is one of the rules. A big plate with a relatively small portion puts the food more in focus. 4) Plates – White or off-white plates make the food stand out more too. 5) Color – There has to be a certain color match. 6) Focus – The main part of the dish, usually the meat should be put most in focus for example a little elevated. 7) Plating - Food has to be simply plated so the person eating should be able to eat without having to go through an intricate design to be able to eat. 8) Setting the Stage – The dish has a face and the part in focus (usually the prettiest) should be towards the person eating, I think we can safely say the "eater" in this case is the camera. 9) Sketch

Stuffed Cabbage Leaves, Passover Perfection

Here is a re-do of my Polish Babci’s Galumpki.  These can be done with or without meat, so they can be pareve. These are also rice free, so they can be eaten by both Sephardic and Ashkenazi sects, and goodness knows there are PLENTY of potatoes around during Pesach. If you don't want the starch try it with quinoa (it’s a seed so it can be eaten during Passover). Serves 4-6 Meat 1 medium head cabbage, cored 1 small onion, diced 1 pound/450g ground turkey 3 cups/450g shredded raw potato ½ teaspoon/2ml salt ¼ teaspoon/1ml black pepper 1 teaspoon/5ml dried dill 28 ounce/794g tomato puree or sauce (if you have leftover spaghetti sauce use that) Preheat oven to 350F/176C/GasMark 4 Using a sharp knife cut the core out of the cabbage bottom. Heat a large stock pot with salted water to a simmer.  Place the cabbage in the water. Cover and cook 2-3 minutes until you can pull off individual leaves. You should end up with 15-20 leaves that are big enough to use
