This new series, I want to start, will be named leftover creations. On here, I want to share recipes, which aren´t ones that I regularly cook or eat, but things I create mostly by the end of the week, using all the ingredients that have been left. Therefore these creations might seem a little weird from time to time, but be sure, I won´t share a recipe, that I haven´t eaten myself.
This particular recipe is based on a huge craving for hawaii toast (is this a thing outside of Germany? It´s basically a toast with a slice of ham, a slice of pineapple and baked in the oven with cheese). But since I had a lot of unused tortillas left and not so much vegan cheese, the idea of a quesadilla came to me. I hope, you like the recipe.
Ingredients:
2-4 wheat or corn tortillas (you need an even number)
canned or fresh pineapple (leftovers will sure be enough)
smoked tofu
to marinade the tofu, you need:
soysauce
lemonjuice (or lime juice. Almost every sour liquid will do the job)
hoisin sauce -> I love this stuff. I bought it lately on amazon. You can check it out, if you follow this link: http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B0050O7MAW/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1638&creative=19454&creativeASIN=B0050O7MAW&linkCode=as2&tag=aveganmindblo-21&linkId=UQPABJMZ24TGQO6W (I´m really sure, that this is a vegan one, since the E numbers appear safe, but feel free to correct me)
vegan cheese (I only had one slice left, so I made a sauce out of it)
For the cheese sauce:
200ml of almond milk
1/2 cup of nutritional yeast
1 teaspoon of oregano and 1 tablespoon of parsley
1-2 Tablespoons of cornstarch
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
First take a small pot and mix the almond milk with the cornstarch. Turn on the heat to high, add the vegan cheese and let everything first melt and then thicken up. When its done, add the yeast, the oregano and the parsley and set everything aside. Take a pan and turn on the heat. Chop your tofu to flat chunks on a size you prefer. I used 2x3cm pieces (kind of) and added them to the pan. Add all the sauces and fry it in the marinade (not the cheese sauce! I´m talking about hoisin and soy sauce as well as your lemon juice. This process takes only a few minutes. Make sure nothing burns. Then take your tortillas. Spread the cheese sauce on one of them. Add the pineapple chunks and the tofu and top it with another tortilla. Put your Quesadilla in a big pan and fry it on each side for several minutes until it´s crunchy but not burned. You can use a dish, to flip it, without destroying your quesadillas.
It turned out especially tasty, so give it a try and
Enjoy your meal!
