My work place has quite a few catered functions, with the food usually supplied by the only cafe in the building. At such occasions, the only vegan fare is some of the alcohol and other beverages which is mostly fine by me. That said, sometimes a vegan can get hungry and it is really bad to see a wide array of non-vegan food and know that I’m getting nothing! One thing that has particularly hurt is watching people rave about the zucchini puffs. Vegetarians and meat-eaters alike make noises of pleasure whilst eating these little balls of fatty goodness and I have developed an ever-growing envy of them and their stupid puffs! Looking at numerous cheese and egg-rich recipes made me decide that it would probably not be too hard to veganise. As I had nothing to base the taste on, I was putting ingredients in a little blindly. I won’t put the recipe yet, as it didn’t turn out as nice as I would have hoped - they were quite bland and I shallow fried them so they were still not quite cooked in the middle. Once I perfect the taste I will post the recipe.
But here are a couple of pictures of this first attempt:
By the time I finished making these, I was in a hurry to get to a netball game so I scrapped my intention to make a lemon flavoured aioli and went with some tomato sauce instead.
I think the next attempt will involve baking them in the hopes they cook through and remain crunchy.
