#aquafaba

These fluffy vegan pancakes are made using aquafaba, the liquid from canned chickpeas, which acts as an egg substitute. They are paired with tender vanilla and cardamom poached pears for a delightful breakfast or brunch treat.

Ingredients: 1 cup aquafaba liquid from canned chickpeas. 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. 2 tablespoons sugar. 1 teaspoon baking powder. 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1 cup almond milk. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 2 ripe pears, peeled, cored, and sliced. 1/2 cup water. 1/4 cup maple syrup. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom.

Instructions: In a mixing bowl, whisk together aquafaba until foamy. Add flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, almond milk, and vanilla extract to the bowl with aquafaba. Mix until just combined. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Pour batter onto the skillet to form pancakes. Cook pancakes for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. In a separate saucepan, combine water, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and ground cardamom. Bring to a simmer. Add sliced pears to the simmering liquid. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until pears are tender but not mushy, stirring occasionally. Serve pancakes topped with the vanilla and cardamom poached pears.

Aquafaba, which is the liquid from canned chickpeas, is used instead of eggs in this vegan ravioli recipe. It makes the texture light and airy while still being made from plants.

Ingredients: 1 cup aquafaba liquid from canned chickpeas. 2 cups all-purpose flour. 1 tablespoon olive oil. 1/2 teaspoon salt. Filling of your choice e.g., sauted spinach and vegan ricotta.

Instructions: Mix aquafaba, flour, olive oil, and salt together in a bowl. Work the dough by hand until it is smooth and stretchy. If it starts to stick, add more flour. Put a damp towel over the dough and let it sit for 30 minutes. Break the dough up into smaller pieces, and then roll out each piece into a thin sheet. Leave space between each dollop of filling as you place them along one sheet of dough. Use water to brush around the filling to help the ravioli stay closed. With care, put another sheet of dough on top of the filling and press it down to seal. Cut out squares of ravioli with a knife or a pastry cutter. Put salt in a pot and bring it to a boil. Cook the ravioli for three to four minutes, or until they float to the top. Use a slotted spoon to take the ravioli out of the pot and serve them with your favorite sauce.
