aquafaba recipe picks

You may have heard of aquafaba ('water-bean') by now. Who would have

thought that the next big thing to sweep across the vegan nation would have

been something as simple - and as icky - as the brine from legumes? It might

have something to do with the fact that not only is this liquid shaping out to

bethe perfect egg replacer, it’s also one of the cheapest and most accessible

replacers around - all you need is a can, or packet, of legumes, chickpeas being

thebean du jour.

Using juice straight from the can is the easiest method, though slowly cooking

dried beans in water for a few hours until the water turns to aquafaba will give

you similar results. Even water from packaged tofu and peas is aquafaba!

Remember, if your bean-juice is too watery, reduce it until it turns the same

consistency as egg whites. If using aquafaba to make fluffy things

likeYorkshire puddings and light cakes, remember to whisk it first until it turns

white and foamy, then fold it into the batter using a metal spoon to keep those

bubbles from popping. Use three tablespoons of aquafaba per egg - but don't

ive by that rule.

Learn more about this magic formula and its origins,document your

experiments and most importantly – get creative! Here are 13 of our topaquafaba recipes to get you started.

We can't forget our gluten-intolerant friends - and what better way to use up

those cans upon cans of chickpeas lying around after your experiments? These

fragrant chickpea blondies have an added moistness to them if you add in

roughly two-three tbsp of aquafaba, whisked. Get the full recipehere.

13) Mayo

It's not all about the sugar. Aquafaba also gives mayo that extra oomph. Get the

recipehere.

Additional aquafaba take-aways

Budding vegan chefs have generally found that using the juice from low-sodium

white beans tastes the best, with chickpeas (garbanzo beans) being the

preferred legume of choice.

You can use the juice in which you boil you beans, or take it straight from the

can.

Tunnocks Tea Cakes/Krembo/Skumbollar/Flödeboller

This is something that has been missing in a vegan version - untill aquafaba

came along! It's called different names in different parts of the world. Aquafaba

does an amazing job of replacing raw egg whites. Enjoy the marzipan bottoms,

with marshmallow fluff covered in crisp dark chocolate :)

Chickpeas!Just buy a can of chickpeas and use the water from it. Lidl's brand works best I

hear. Other bean juices can be used to, generally white beans are better like

chickpeas and butterbeans.

OMG it really works! I bought a can of chickpeas from LIDL today for 35p and

used some of the water to make mayonnaise. I didn't quite follow the recipehere, just used what I had in the house. Here's my version: 20ml white wine

vinegar 1/2 tsp English mustard paste Pinch sea salt 60ml aquafaba 150ml

sunflower oil Combine the first 4 ingredients in a bowl (I actually used a wide-

brimmed half litre measuring jug) and blend briefly with a hand-held blender.

Then carry on blending as you drizzle the oil in. Mine didn't start to thicken until

I'd added about 130ml of oil and I stopped when it was still liquid but nice and

thick (150ml). After an hour or so in the fridge it's as good as any bought mayo

I've ever had. Will try with garlic and olive oil for alioli. Just amazing!• reply

"uafaba! $onderful!

I was very delighted and excited to discover your recipes. I wonder who thought

this up? The familiar garbanzo bean has glamorous, more decadent side.

Oh dear, August promises to be a very windy month with all this aquafaba ice

cream and desserts! This seems to be the one (big) drawback with this product,

otherwise it seems a great addition to the possibilities of vegan cuisine.
