Instructions
Corn Chips
-
In a food processor or blender, blend all ingredients except the flax/linseed until it’s smooth
-
Add the flax and blend again until thoroughly combined
-
Spread the batter between two nonstick dehydrator sheets and score into the shape you desire
-
Dehydrate at 115F for 8-10 hours, flip onto a mesh tray and dry a further 12 hours or until crisp
Spicy Beans
-
In a food processor, grind all ingredients except the last 2 until they bind together
-
Add the spring onions and coriander and pulse in, leaving some texture to the onions and coriander
-
Sprinkle mixture directly onto a mesh dehydrator sheet leaving plenty of gaps between pieces of the mixture so the air can flow round nicely
-
Dehydrate for 12 hours, place in a large bowl and set aside, ready for the tomato sauce
Tomato Sauce
-
Grind all ingredients in a food processor or blender until they form a thick, but slightly chunky sauce.
-
Add to the bowl with the sunflower seed mixture and mix the two together thoroughly
Vegan Cheese
-
Blend the soaked cashews, pepper juice and probiotics in a high-speed blender until completely smooth.
-
Transfer the mixture into a bowl and cover with baking parchment.
-
Put this in a warm place to culture for around 12 hours. Somewhere like on top of a dehydrator (not inside it) or a warm cupboard is perfect.
-
You’ll know it’s cultured successfully because the mixture will have air bubbles and a fermented odour to it and slightly sour taste.
-
Transfer to a food processor or bowl and add the nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder and salt. Grind or whisk until well combined, scraping down the sides as you go.
-
Serve with your favourite chips or crackers and some salsa
Vegan Sour Cream
-
Blend all ingredients in a high-speed blender until smooth
