Visiting certain places for periods that include
meals is not always easy as most of times there are no vegetarian restaurants
and nothing suitable to eat at
local restaurants.
My own experience
advises me not to create
expectations. In these cases, it is best to simplify and be ready for what it
comes. Therefore, the ideal is to leave the house with a tasty home prepared snack
that satisfies us.
This is what I
did yesterday, I hope you can enjoy the recipe as much as I did! I prepared
roasted quinoa and seitan croquettes with flavor and rich potatoes!
ingredients:
(yields 22
croquettes)
1 cup dark quinoa
250 gr of seitan
+ 3 garlic cloves + 2 tbsp of olive oil + pinch of salt + 2 tbsp soy sauce
1 + ½ cup almond
paste (obtained from almond milk- recipe here: Almond milk )
1/3 cup of flax
seeds
1/3 cup black and
gold sesame seeds
1 chopped onion
1 chopped tomato
¼ cup chopped
parsley and coriander
2 tbsp soy sauce
or the amount necessary
Wash and cook the
quinoa according to directions on the package. Allow it to cool.
For the seitan:
Sauté the garlic
cloves in olive oil and add the finely chopped seitan.
Season it with a
pinch of salt and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes.
Add the 2 tbsp of
soy sauce, mix well and let it cook for 2 minutes. Allow it to cool.
Place the seeds
in a food processor, or in a coffee grinder and grind it.
For the
croquettes:
In a large bowl ,place
the quinoa, add the seitan and mix well.
Add the almond
paste and the seeds and wrap again.
Add the chopped
onion, tomato and herbs. Mix everything and season with 2 tbsp of soy sauce or
other seasonings to your taste.
Preheat oven to
180º degrees.
Mold the croquettes
and put them on a baking tray in the oven.
Bake for 30
minutes.
For the potatoes:
Wash and cut
potatoes into thick sticks.
Cook in abundant
salted water. When cooked al-dente, drain and place in a serving dish that you can put in the oven.
Grind black
sesame seeds, flaxseeds, sunflower seeds or other to your taste.
Add 1 tbsp olive
oil to the seeds and mix with the potatoes.
Check the seasoning and place in oven until crispy.
Bon appétit!
