Easy Step-by-Step Recipe for Delicious Homemade Vegan Almond Halloumi 🌿🌱😋
ingredients:
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk (480 ml)
- ½ cup nutritional yeast (40 grams)
- ¼ cup tapioca starch (30 grams)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (30 ml)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for frying (15 ml)
- 1 teaspoon salt (5 grams)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder (1 gram)
- Optional: fresh herbs like mint or dill
directions:
1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the almond milk, nutritional yeast, tapioca starch, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and garlic powder until smooth.
2. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and pulls away from the sides of the pan, forming a ball. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly for a few minutes.
4. Transfer the mixture to a cheesecloth-lined bowl. Gather the edges of the cheesecloth and squeeze out any excess liquid.
5. Shape the mixture into a block or disc. You can also press it into a container lined with parchment paper.
6. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the halloumi to firm up.
7. Once firm, remove the vegan halloumi from the refrigerator. You can slice it and enjoy it as is, or fry it for a golden crust.
8. To fry: Heat a little olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the halloumi slices and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
9. Serve warm with your favorite salads, vegetables, or bread.
