Stuffed Squash Blossoms

Coconut Onion

Jalapeño Puree

Almond Coconut Crumble

Method

Vegan Ricotta Filling

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tofu

    Press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Crumble it into a mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    Add nutritional yeast, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and fresh basil to the crumbled tofu. Mix until well combined, creating a ricotta-like texture.

Stuffed Squash Blossoms

  1. 3

    Prepare the Squash

    Grate the summer squash and mix it into the vegan ricotta filling.

  2. 4

    Stuff the Blossoms

    Carefully open the squash blossoms and fill them with the vegan ricotta mixture without tearing the petals.

  3. 5

    Cook the Stuffed Blossoms

    Heat coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the stuffed blossoms in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden.

Coconut Onion

  1. 6

    Sauté the Onion

    Chop the onion and sauté in a pan with a bit of coconut oil until translucent.

  2. 7

    Add Coconut Milk

    Pour in the coconut milk and season with salt. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.

Jalapeño Puree

  1. 8

    Prepare the Jalapeños

    Remove the stems and seeds from the jalapeños. Chop them roughly.

  2. 9

    Blend the Puree

    In a blender, combine chopped jalapeños, lime juice, and salt. Blend until smooth, adjusting salt to taste.

Almond Coconut Crumble

  1. 10

    Mix the Crumble Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine almonds, coconut flakes, maple syrup, and cinnamon. Mix until everything is evenly coated.

  2. 11

    Bake the Crumble

    Spread the mixture on a baking sheet and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 10-12 minutes, stirring halfway through until golden brown.
