Strawberry Pistachio Dessert 🍓 #strawberrypist Strawberry Pistachio Dessert 🍓 #strawberrypistachiochocolate #strawberrypistachiodessert #kataifidessert #dubaidessert #veganrecipes #vegandessert
Creamy Pistachio Butter 💚 📝INGREDIENTS   Creamy Pistachio Butter 💚 📝INGREDIENTS   * 2 cups raw or roasted unsalted pistachios shelled * 1-2 tbsp neutral oil (e.g., avocado oil or grapeseed oil) optional, for creaminess * pinch of salt optional * 1-2 tsp maple syrup optional, for sweetness 👩‍🍳INSTRUCTIONS 1. Prepare Pistachios: If using raw pistachios, you can lightly toast them in a dry pan or oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes to enhance their flavor. Let them cool slightly.
 2. Blend: Add the pistachios to a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend until the pistachios break down into a crumbly texture.
 3. Scrape and Blend: Stop the blender/processor occasionally to scrape down the sides. Continue blending until the pistachios turn into a creamy butter (this can take 5–10 minutes, depending on your machine).
 4. Adjust Texture: If the butter is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of neutral oil at a time and blend until smooth.
 5. Flavor (Optional): Add a pinch of salt for a savory touch or a small amount of maple syrup for sweetness. Blend again until fully incorporated.
 6. Store: Transfer the pistachio butter to an airtight jar and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2–3 weeks. #pistachiobutter #pistachio
Tofu Chicken 🌱 📝Ingredients * 1 block (14 o Tofu Chicken 🌱 📝Ingredients * 1 block (14 oz) extra-firm tofu (freeze and thaw for best texture) * 2 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free) * 1 tbsp olive oil or neutral oil * 1 tbsp nutritional yeast * 1 tsp garlic powder * 1 tsp smoked paprika (optional, for a smoky flavor) * 1/2 tsp onion powder * 1/4 tsp black pepper * Optional: 1/2 tsp poultry seasoning for a “chickeny” aroma * 1 tbsp cornstarch or arrowroot powder (for a crispy coating) 👩‍🍳Instructions 1. Prepare the tofu: Freeze your tofu overnight and then let it thaw completely. Squeeze out excess water by pressing the tofu between your hands or using a tofu press. The freezing process changes the texture, making it chewier and more “meaty.”
Tear the tofu into irregular strips or chunks to mimic the texture of shredded chicken. 
2. Marinate the tofu: In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oil, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, black pepper, and poultry seasoning (if using).
Add the tofu strips to the marinade, gently tossing to coat each piece evenly. Let it marinate for at least 15–20 minutes (the longer, the better—up to a few hours). 
3. Coat the tofu: Sprinkle the cornstarch or arrowroot powder over the marinated tofu and toss lightly to create a thin, crispy coating. 
4. Cook the tofu: * Pan-frying: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add a small amount of oil and cook the tofu strips in a single layer for 2–3 minutes on each side, until golden and crispy. * Baking: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the tofu strips on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through. * Air-frying: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the strips in a single layer and air-fry for 12–15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway. 
5. Serve and enjoy: Serve the tofu strips in wraps, on top of salads, in stir-fries, or as a high-protein snack on their own. They’re great with dipping sauces like BBQ, ranch, or vegan honey mustard. #tofurecipe #tofuchicken #tofurecipes #veganchicken #veganrecipes #vegantiktok

Yummy Vegan Pancakes 🥞 🍽️ INGREDIENTS Yummy Vegan Pancakes 🥞 🍽️ INGREDIENTS 2 tbsp almond flour 2 tbsp whole wheat flour 100 ml almond milk 1 tbsp cashew butter 1 tbsp vegetable butter (I use Smart Balance original) - optional 1 tsp baking powder 1 tbsp maple syrup - optional 👩‍🍳 INSTRUCTIONS 1. In a medium-large bowl, mix the almond flour, whole wheat flour and the baking powder. 2. Add the butter to a small bowl and microwave for 10 seconds to melt it or melt the butter in a bowl over boiling water. 3. In a separate small bowl, add the cashew butter, and pour in the melted butter. Mix well to obtain a smooth texture. If the texture is too thick, add some milk and mix. 4. Pour the cashew butter & butter mix over the flour, add the milk and mix well. You should get a smooth, creamy texture – not too thick and not too liquid. 5. Preheat the pan and pour the batter on the pan using the spoon or ladle, no oil needed. Cook on medium heat until you see small bubbles on the surface of the pancakes. 6. Use the silicone spoon to flip the pancakes. Cook until golden. 1-2 minutes on the pan should be sufficient to cook the inside and get a perfect golden shade. 7. Repeat the process until you run out of batter. 8. Serve with maple syrup, fruits, caramel or chocolate syrup. #veganpancakes #vegandessert #veganbreakfast
