Like the beloved mozzarella sticks from childhood, but completely vegan. Ideal for parties or as a snack in between. They are melt-in-your-mouth on the inside, crispy on the outside and taste simply fantastic, especially with the apple BBQ sauce. Ready?
Ingredients for the sticks:
150 g Viva La Faba cheese
150 g flour
80 g chickpea flour
250 ml water
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp smoked paprika powder
1/4 tsp cumin
150 g panko or breadcrumbs
Step 1: Separately place the flour, panko and chickpea flour in three bowls.
Step 2: Add the smoked paprika, cumin and salt to the chickpea flour. Mix with water to form a thick batter that replaces the egg when breading.
Step 3: Cut the cheese into the desired size and roll it first in flour, then in the chickpea egg substitute and finally in panko.
Step 4: Fry in a pan and turn carefully or deep-fry in a pot with oil until golden brown.
Ingredients for the apple BBQ sauce (for 2 liters):
5 cloves of garlic
3 red onions
1 white onion
3-5 red apples (depending on size you need more or less)
6 tbsp tomato paste
5 tbsp maple syrup
500 ml dark beer (optional, can also be replaced with more tomatoes or apple juice)
800 ml peeled tomatoes (can)
2 tbsp mustard
3 tbsp soy sauce
1-2 tsp liquid smoke
2 tbsp dark balsamic vinegar
some smoked paprika powder
some cumin
Salt to taste
Step 1: First chop the onions, garlic and apples, fry them in a pot, then add the tomato paste and roast.
Step 2: Deglaze with the maple syrup, the peeled tomatoes and the dark beer.
Step 3: Simmer for about half an hour until the apples and onions are soft.
Step 4: Add the remaining ingredients and simmer for another 10 minutes until the mixture is thick.
Step 5: Mix everything finely. If there are any pieces, pass them through a sieve if necessary.
The sauce can be stored in a preserving jar in the refrigerator for approx. 6 months.
