Vegan Three Chiles Sauce

-

Vegan Three Chiles Sauce Recipe It's time for a new sauce. Because the sauce is what brings it all together. 

This sauce is fairly simple, but full of carries a lot of depth. The rosemary provides a smokey back note. The roasted garlic is smooth and earthy. The chiles add that necessary heat. 

When creating vegan sauces you have to make full use of the power of the vegetables that you choose. Drawing out all of their potential in order to extract every last drop of flavor. It's the difference between an okay sauce and a really good one. 

Ingredients
2 Jalapenos, deseeded and chunked
2 Serranos, deseeded and chunked
1 Habanero, deseeded and chunked
1 Small Head of Garlic, cloves halved
1 cup water
1 tsp rosemary
2 Tbls canola oil
1 Tbl salt
1 tsp black pepper
1/16 tsp xanthan gum


I originally purchased xanthan gum to make soy based vegan ice cream at home. It worked perfectly in that application. 

What I later discovered from experimenting is that it's also a very convenient way to thicken vegan sauces. It works perfectly to create vegan chocolate sauce. And it also works for savory sauces like this one. Just a very small amount add that perfect viscosity without a lot of fuss. It doesn't change the taste at all. 
 
Instructions
Add all the ingredients except the oil, water and xanthan gum to a small frying pan. Toast over medium heat until you get some color on the peppers and garlic. 

Stir in the oil and let it coat everything. Saute for 5 more minutes. 

Remove the pan from the flame. Slowly pour in the water and then add the pan back on the burner. Simmer until reduced by half. 

Add to a pitcher blender. Let cool, then puree. Add in the xanthan gum and buzz again for 5-10 seconds. 

As it cools a little it will thicken to just the right consistency. 

With all those chile peppers in it, it sounds like it will be fiery, but actually it really isn't. Because we've deseeded them, we mostly just get a little heat and all the unique subtleties unique to each type of chile. Jalapenos are a little smokey, Habaneros somewhat fruity. Serranos a little grassy. It's the combination of all of them that really makes this sauce something special.

bestvegetarianveganrecipes.blogspot.com  This is a dessert I never would've dreamt up just a year ago. But ever since I learned how to make chocolate chip cookies with chick peas , I've been experimenting with using them in all sorts of other recipes. In this case, an irresistible marble cheesecake.  The more amazing part, besides the use of chick peas in a cheesecake, is the fact that it's actually very easy to make. And unlike traditional cheesecake recipes, it's nearly foolproof.  This recipe is egg-free and sugar-free, but not dairy free. Vegan cream cheese would probably work, but I have yet to try it.  Ingredients for Filling 1 can chick peas, thoroughly rinsed 1 room temp 8 oz block of cream cheese 2/3 cups allulose 1 1/2 tbls cocoa powder 1 tbl vanilla extract 2 tbls baking powder 1 tsp salt 1-2 tbls almond milk Ingredients for Crust 1 cup old fashioned oats 1/2 cup roasted almonds 1/2 cup allulose 1 tbl almond milk 1.2 tsp salt Make the crust first because i...

How to make Perfect Vegan Sugar Free Jell-o Instant Pudding

There are many internet solutions for using Jell-o instant pudding mix to create a vegan version. Almond milk on its own doesn't really work quite right.  Some have suggested just using less almond milk, but that results in a lesser amount of pudding than the package promises. It's also too thick.  I've made it with tofu , black beans, and even chick peas. All these methods  work to varying degrees. However, they don't 100% achieve that true pudding texture. They also tend to separate over time if you don't consume it quickly.  But I've since hit upon the most perfect version possible. Best of all, it's also the easiest and the most pudding like. It's pretty much the exact same thickness and texture as if you were to make it using cow's milk. It's also just as stable if you save some for later. It retains its perfect texture.  It only requires two common, extra ingredients. It's also made the same way as the package directions suggest. No foo...
