[Barriehie]

Miso soup with tofu, wakame, and barley for lunch.

Give us feedback when you do pls

An attempt at tostones. I think they're too thick so they didn't get crunchy. Kind of like thick potato chips, kind of sweet, texture of baked potato in the middle. I'll use my mandolin next time. They're still good it's just not the texture I wanted

Years ago a friends mother made them. She cut them thick then fried in oil and drained. After draining we use a glass to flatten them and refried. Came out nice.

That's what I did too. Have to dial in the right thickness. Were they crunchy?

That's what I wondered too. Seems as if I've had both.

Now that's very interesting! Definitely something I'd be interested in doing

The recipe is on here somewhere. Almond feta... I'll try to find it. Again though you need something like the Vitamix to blend the almonds to a smooth paste.

I now mostly use lemon juice instead of water, because it gives a better tang plus i have a lemon tree that has more lemons on it than I can possibly use.

If you look at this tag, you'll see dairy free recipes (mostly) for ideas on what's already tried and tested.

A butternut squash and sweet potato soup, served with Recipe - Dairy Free Brioche which has improved in flavour.

DIY crackers?

No, store-bought and they're amazing, the toasted sesame taste is huge.

They look exactly as they should. Crispy on the outside, and a bit chewy in the middle.
You fried them twice, right?
If you want the thin, crucnchy ones, then you're looking for "platanitos fritos", which are sold here like potato crisps/chips.
Cut really thin rounds (about 1/16th inch) and fry just once until browned.

We has ravioli with 3-meat sauce of steak, Italian sausage, and lamb.

 

[vernplum]

Beef noodle soup. Beef slices, tendon, tripe, ‘balls’ (meatballs lol, not the other kind…)

No time for breakfast at home so had it at my desk at work! Lactose free Greek style yoghurt with granola + nuts & seeds with a cup of tea - perfect start to the day!
