3 more Lenten cooking tricks that actually work π
Fact 1 β Potato starch makes cheese out of anything π§
Mix any plant milk (almond, oat) with a spoon of potato starch, lemon juice, and salt. Heat it in a pan β it starts stretching just like real melted cheese. Perfect for pizza or lasagna.
Fact 2 β Black tea replaces meat broth π
Brew strong black tea (no flavors added), then add a spoon of soy sauce and dried garlic. The taste is almost indistinguishable from beef broth. I couldn't believe it myself the first time.
Fact 3 β Pumpkin seeds turn into Parmesan π
Blend raw pumpkin seeds with salt, garlic powder, and a pinch of citric acid. Sprinkle over pasta or salad. It's tangy, rich, and just like hard cheese.
