Instructions

Step 1

Soak the Poppy Seeds

Start by soaking the poppy seeds in 30 grams of coconut milk for approximately 15 minutes. This will help to enhance their flavor and texture in the final dish.

Step 2

Prepare the Tofu Mixture

While the poppy seeds are soaking, cut the tofu into small pieces. In a mixing bowl, add the lemon juice, 60 grams of coconut milk, topinambur syrup, and a splash of vanilla extract.

Using a blender, process the mixture until it reaches a smooth and homogenous consistency.

Step 3

Combine Ingredients

Once blended, gently fold in the lemon zest and the soaked poppy seeds. After that, add 20 to 25 grams of coconut flour to the mixture. Mix well and allow it to rest for 5 minutes so the flour can absorb moisture and thicken the mix.

Step 4

Form and Cook the Tofu Snacks

After resting, form the mixture into small snack shapes. In a frying pan, heat some coconut oil over medium heat. Once hot, fry the tofu snacks on both sides until they are golden brown and crispy.

Remove from the pan and let them cool on a plate. These snacks can be served warm or at room temperature.

Step 5

Serving Suggestion and Storage

Enjoy your delicious tofu snacks that taste just like they are made with real cheese! You can also double the recipe and freeze some for later use.

Servings

When it comes to serving these delightful tofu patties, the possibilities are endless! You can enjoy them hot right off the skillet, garnished with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for a zesty kick. Pair them with a refreshing salad made of mixed greens and a light vinaigrette. Imagine hosting a picnic and serving these alongside crunchy veggies and hummus. 🍋🥗

For a more filling meal, consider placing them in a warm pita with an assortment of veggies and a drizzle of tahini sauce. Every bite will surely deliver a harmony of flavors! 🤤

And if you want to get a bit creative, try topping them with your favorite salsa or guacamole. The fusion of tastes will make your meal a true feast for the senses!

Variations

Looking to tweak the recipe? You can easily make these patties both gluten-free and vegan! Just make sure to use gluten-free coconut flour instead of regular coconut flour to accommodate dietary needs. 🌾🚫

For a vegan-friendly twist, check the ingredient labels on your coconut milk and syrup to ensure they are plant-based, as some brands may contain additives that are not vegan!

Faq

  • What if I don't have coconut milk?

    You can substitute it with almond milk or any nut milk you prefer, but the flavor might change slightly.

  • Can I bake these patties instead of frying?

    Yes! Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.

  • How can I make sure my patties don’t fall apart?

    Make sure to let the mixture rest for at least 5 minutes, as this will help bind all the ingredients together.

  • Can I add other ingredients to the batter?

    Absolutely! Feel free to incorporate ingredients like chopped herbs, spices, or vegetables to customize the flavor profile.

  • How do I ensure they are cooked evenly?

    Use medium heat to cook your patties and let them brown nicely on one side before flipping them. Avoid overcrowding the skillet.

  • Can I freeze the patties?

    Yes! After cooking, let them cool completely, then freeze them in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
