Hampton Winds Restaurant<\/a> visited 69 News at Sunrise Friday morning.<\/p>\nThe chefs featured vegan cheese sauce, vegan chili, and a rice wine vinegar pickle.<\/p>\n
Vegan nacho cheese sauce:<\/p>\n
Dairy free, nut free, gluten free. Makes about 2 quarts.<\/p>\n
3 x Russet Potatoes (Peeled and Diced)<\/p>\n
1 x Carrot (Peeled and Diced)<\/p>\n
3\/4 Cup Water<\/p>\n
3 Tbsp Nutritional Yeast<\/p>\n
2\/3 Cup Avocado Oil<\/p>\n
1 Tbsp Lemon Juice<\/p>\n
1 Tbsp Kosher Salt<\/p>\n
2 Tsp Onion Powder<\/p>\n
2 Tsp Garlic Powder<\/p>\n
1 Tsp Ground Cumin<\/p>\n
1 Tsp Smoked Paprika<\/p>\n
1\/2 Tsp Ground Turmeric<\/p>\n
1) Boil or steam the potatoes and carrots until tender, but make sure they are cooked all the way through. A little overdone is okay too! Strain them into a colander.<\/p>\n
2) Add the cooked potatoes and carrots into the blender, along with the rest of the ingredients.<\/p>\n
3) Blend all of the ingredients on high power until smooth, it may take a little while. The better the power on the blender, the better your result will be.<\/p>\n
Vegan chili:<\/p>\n
Makes about 2 quarts of finished chili.<\/p>\n
1 lb Cremini Mushrooms (cleaned and sliced)<\/p>\n
1 x Spanish Onion (peeled and diced)<\/p>\n
1 x Red Bell Pepper<\/p>\n
4 cloves Garlic (peeled)<\/p>\n
1 Cup Cilantro (washed and chopped)<\/p>\n
3 Tbsp Ground Cumin<\/p>\n
2 Tbsp Smoked Paprika<\/p>\n
2 Tbsp Onion Powder<\/p>\n
1 Tbsp Garlic Powder<\/p>\n
12 oz Tomato Puree<\/p>\n
4 oz Water<\/p>\n
12 oz Black Beans (cooked and drained)<\/p>\n
Salt and Pepper to Taste<\/p>\n
1) Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F \/ 177\u00b0C<\/p>\n
2) Roast the mushrooms on a sheet pan, making sure they have enough room to roast and dry out a bit. You\u2019re looking for them to feel a little bit leathery. When the mushrooms have released all of their moisture and shriveled up a bit, remove them from the oven and let them cool to room temperature.<\/p>\n
3) Once cooled, grind the mushrooms in a food processor. Make sure to grind them, and not to make them into a paste.<\/p>\n
4) Blend the onion, garlic, bell pepper, cilantro, and spices in a blender until smooth. This is your prepared sofrito.<\/p>\n
5) In a large enough pot to hold the entire Vegan Chili, add the oil to the pan and set it to medium heat.<\/p>\n
6) When oil is hot, add the sofrito. Saut\u00e9 the mixture until the liquid in it is reduced by half, about 4 minutes.<\/p>\n
7) Add the ground mushrooms to the sofrito, and saut\u00e9 for one minute.<\/p>\n
8) Add the tomato puree and water, and bring to a simmer.<\/p>\n
9) Add the black beans, simmer until mixture is thickened, about 10 minutes.<\/p>\n
10) Season with salt and pepper to taste.<\/p>\n
