Do you know what are you going to eat next week? No worries, we bring you a new Batch cooking full of ideas. Because that’s the Batch cooking philosophy: cooking on Sunday and enjoy the rest of the week without thinking about what to cook, cause meals are all ready, so it is easier to keep a balanced diet and having some free time for whatever you want to.
Here are some new Batch cooking recipes, vegan ones this time. Spoiler: we have croquettes!
Ingredients
Non-chicken croquettes
- 300 g of non-chicken (seitan, heura®…)
- ½ Onion
- 1 Clove of garlic
- ¼ Cup of plant milk
- 5-7 Tablespoons of flour
- ¼ Cup of breadcrumbs
- 2 Tablespoons of tomato sauce
Spring rolls
- 100 g Flour
- 200 ml Water
- 1 Carrot
- A piece of a cauliflower
- 3 Tablespoons of soy sauce
- A few mushrooms
- ½ Cup of soy sprouts
- A few chunks of the non-chicken
Spanish flan
- 1 Instant flan or crème caramel instant mix
- 1 l Plant milk
- A few drops of vanilla essence
Beans with spinach
- 1 Cup of baked beans
- A bunch of spinach
- 3 Tablespoons of breadcrumbs
Asparagus and mushrooms
- A bunch of asparagus
- Mushrooms to taste
- A pinch of salt
- A clove of garlic
Non-chicken croquettes
Stir fry the non-chicken with onion, tomato, and garlic in a skillet. When brown, whisk everything until you have a dough. Cook again in the skillet with flour and toss with milk for around ten minutes. Place the dough in the refrigerator for two hours and then bread it and fry with oil until golden brown.
Spring rolls
For the dough —though you can buy pre-cooked spring roll pastry too—, mix flour with water and stir until you have a smooth, liquid batter.
Add oil to a skillet and spread it with the help of a piece of paper towel. When it is hot, use a silicone brush to spread a thin layer of the batter on the skillet without holes. Wait for a few seconds until the layer of pastry is not stuck to the bottom of the pan, and flip it gently with a spatula. Repeat until you have a few pieces of spring roll pastry done.
For the filling, stir fry all the vegetables and the non-chicken until brown. Add soy sauce and spread the mix on each one of the pastry layers. Roll to the middle, fold in the corners, and finish rolling up (wet the edges to seal).
When all the spring rolls are ready, fry with oil until golden brown.
Spanish flan
Follow the instructions on the box, put the instant powder into a pan with milk and vanilla. Stir and bring it to a boil. Pour the liquid caramel into eight different cups or ramekins, and then pour the mix. Set aside to cool before placing them in the refrigerator.
Beans with spinach
Stir fry spinach with baked beans and add breadcrumbs to the top for a crunchy touch.
Asparagus and mushrooms
Wash and stir fry asparagus together with mushrooms and the clove of garlic until golden brown. Add salt.
