Hi I'm Michelle the irritable vegan and today I'm sharing a vegan low fodmap recipe
that can be easily made using leftover rice stale bread and a few pantry
staples I hope this delicious recipe brings you
a little bit of comfort in these trying times if you need help adapting this or
any other recipe to suit what you currently have on hand then please reach
out to me in the comments below I hope you enjoy it we'll begin by blitzing 70
grams of stale sourdough bread into bread crumbs if you don't use a food
processor try grating the bread on the finest blade of a cheese grater to a
small bowl add 1 tablespoon of ground flax seed and 3 tablespoons of water to
create a flax egg stir well and leave this to thicken for a few minutes you
can also use ground chia seed or egg replacement powder to a food processor
add 230 grams of cooked leftover rice or quinoa 120 grams of smoked firm tofu
that's been pressed and grated use regular firm tofu if that's all that you
have add 50 grams from the 70 grams of sourdough bread crumbs 2 tablespoons of
nutritional yeast flakes 1 teaspoon of dried mixed herbs whatever you have
available and salt and pepper to bind the mixture together add your egg
replacement and if you're struggling with this then a corn flour slurry a glug
of oil or a splash of water could work too add two tablespoons of tomato puree
and if you need to swap this for ketchup barbecue sauce balsamic or a sun-dried
tomato add 1 tablespoon of mustard I use Dijon but any variety works blend
everything together for a few minutes until it forms a rough thick dough
scraping down the sides as needed alternatively chop or grate everything
as small as possible and mash with a potato masher or squeeze it together
with your hands to the remaining 20 grams of breadcrumbs
add 10 grams of ground almonds or use any FODMAP safe flour available add 1
tablespoon of nutritional yeast and a generous pinch of black pepper stir
everything together until well combined pour the breadcrumb mix evenly onto a
flat side plate scoop up heaped tablespoons of the rice
mixture and shaped lightly into balls this recipe makes approximately twelve
to fourteen balls depending on how generous you are with your heaped
tablespoon measures roll the rice ball into the breadcrumb mix until generously
coated pop the balls onto a nonstick or lightly oiled baking tray and repeat
until all the mixture is gone if you prefer you could also shape the
mixture into burger patties before rolling it in the breadcrumbs I haven't
tried this but I guesstimate you'd get about four decent patties from this
mixture leave enough room around each ball so that you can turn them easily at
the halfway point to ensure they cook evenly bake them for 30 minutes at 180
degrees Celsius turning once once cooked the ball should be crisp and golden on
the outside with a hot flavourful slightly meaty texture inside I serve
mine with rocket leaves my homemade tomato salsa and coconut yogurt
this recipe is fodmap to safe at half the entire recipe you can also freeze
the balls for a few months or store them for a day or two in the fridge if you're
planning not to eat them right away then I recommend storing them before you roll
them in the breadcrumbs and do that step just before cooking I'll leave the link
to my homemade salsa recipe down below if you prefer you could blitz it up and
eat it hot like a marinara sauce I hope this recipe has been helpful for showing
you how to use up some basic leftovers and please don't be afraid of making
swaps to any recipe although you may need to do it out of necessity at the
minute it really is an invaluable skill to have and many ingredients could be
substituted to suit whatever you have available if you don't know how to do
this or where to start them please get in touch and I'll try to help wherever I
can I really hope that you're able to take care of yourself and your family
and that you're staying safe in these strange times I'm always happy to chat
in the comments below for anyone that needs it thank you so much for watching
stay safe stay home if you can and I'll speak to you soon byeee
