Easy Vegan Crêpes
Thin crêpes for breakfast or dessert or as a savoury meal filled with vegetables.
Serves: 4 people, 12 crêpes Time: 30 min
Ingredients
200 g wheat flour
3 tablespoons brown sugar
½ teaspoon baking powder
300 ml soy milk (or oat, rice or almond milk)
200 ml sparkling water
3 tablespoons melted margarine or coconut oil for the batter
1 teaspoon vanilla powder (optional)
1 package vanilla sugar
salt to taste
margarine or coconut oil to fry
Directions
Mix all the ingredients in a bowl, making sure there are no lumps. Heat an oiled frying pan over medium high heat. Pour the batter in the pan with a ladle. Twirl the batter around to cover the whole bottom of the pan. The dough should be quite thin. Cook for 1 or 2 minutes until the batter gets darker, loosen the edges with a spatula and flip the crêpe. Cook one minute until brown on the other side of the crêpe. Stainless steel pans are to be avoided at all costs because your crêpe will inevitably stick to the pan.
Swiss Rösti
It’s nice for breakfast, lunch or dinner!
Serves: 1 person (1 big rösti) Time: 30 min
Ingredients
50 – 75 g grated cheese
250 g potatoes (about three medium potatoes)
½ small onion
3 mushrooms
a handful fresh spinach leaves (about 50 g)
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
fresh or dried herbs to taste (for example marjoram)
salt and pepper
a dollop of sour cream to taste (optional)
Directions
Grate the cheese and then the raw potatoes, chop the onion, slice the mushrooms, and wash and dry the fresh spinach. Heat a 22 centimeter frying pan on medium heat/flame. When the frying pan has reached a medium temperature, melt 1 tablespoon butter in the pan and add a dash of oil, briefly twirling the pan around so that the butter and the oil get mixed together nicely (the oil helps to keep the butter from turning brown). Then squeeze the water out of the grated potatoes and spread it out quickly and evenly over the bottom of the frying pan until it covers the entire bottom of the pan. Be careful not to lay it on too thick or it will not cook thoroughly.
Fry for approximately 4 minutes on one side, until it is golden brown and then place a 30 centimeter flat stainless steel cake serving dish (if you don’t have one, try using a large dinner plate instead) over the frying pan and hold it tightly against the frying pan as you turn the frying pan upside down so that the “rösti” ends up with its uncooked side on the cake serving dish/dinner plate. Put it aside while you again melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the frying pan, again adding a dash of oil and briefly twirling the pan to mix the butter and the oil. Then slide the half-cooked “rösti”/ potato pancake from the cake serving dish carefully back into the frying pan so that its uncooked side is now lying on the bottom of the frying pan. Sprinkle some salt and pepper on the potatoes and then the grated cheese evenly over the top of the “rösti”, then spread the chopped onion, the sliced mushrooms, and the fresh or dried herbs evenly on top of that, and lastly distribute the fresh spinach on top of everything else before covering the pan with the cake serving dish or the normal lid for the frying pan.
Cook for about another 3 minutes until the other side is also golden brown. Then you may either fold it in half before removing it from the pan or just slide it carefully out of the pan onto a plate, adding a dollop of sour cream on top if desired.
Note: If you prefer, you can leave away the cheese entirely and just serve it with more sour cream instead. Optionally you can add some diced tomatoes or thinly sliced celery stalks for more crunch, too.
This recipe makes one large “rösti”/ potato pancake. If you have to grate larger quantities of potatoes at one time, you might want to try adding several drops of fresh lemon juice to the grated potatoes and mixing it in thoroughly in order to help prevent the potatoes from turning brown before you fry them. The only tricky thing is turning over the “rösti”/ potato pancake but with a little practice you will surely succeed, though it might be a little more difficult if you don’t have a stainless steel cake serving dish and have to use a plate instead. As an alternative you can also make the “rösti” smaller so that it can still be turned over with a spatula; this will also work.
Vegan Scrambled Eggs
A nice recipe for a generous breakfast with orange juice and fresh homemade bread.
Serves: 6 people
Ingredients
1 onion
150 g smoked tofu
400 g natural tofu
1 shot tamari
A pinch of turmeric powder
200 g silk tofu
Salt (or Himalayan black salt) and pepper
Directions
Peel and slice the onion.
Cut the smoked tofu in thin slices and heat the smoked tofu with onions in a frying pan. In the meantime, mash the natural tofu with a fork.
When the smoked tofu is fried, add 1 shot tamari and the mashed natural tofu and let it fry. When the natural tofu is fried, scatter turmeric over the tofu. (Be careful not to add too much turmeric since it has a very intense flavour).
Smash the silk tofu and add it to the frying pan. Add salt and pepper.
The dish can be garnished with sprouts and herbs.
