While you are preparing Lenten cakes, you are dreaming about what could be adequate substitute for egg whites?
Are you a vegan or vegetarian who does not consume eggs? Are you allergic to eggs? Don't worry, there is a solution.
No more hassle of making lean/vegan food. What you need are raw chickpeas or white beans.
And if you don't have enough time, buy a can of chickpeas and in half an hour you will have the perfect crust for your customized cake - lean, vegan, vegetarian...
Ingredients for about 3 dl of vegan egg white:
- 300 g of raw (dry) chickpeas
- 500 ml of water
- a pinch of salt
<strong>Preparation: </strong>
- Wash the raw (unheated) chickpeas well and cover them with 2 times the volume of water.
- Leave them to hydrate for about 8 hours.
- Pour off the rest of the water and pour about 500 ml of fresh water and salt.
- Cook them at a lower temperature until they soften (cooking usually takes 1,5 to 2 hours, depending on the type).
- Add water if necessary.
- The water should always cover all the chickpeas so that they cook evenly (when the middle is soft, creamy, the chickpeas are cooked - press them with two fingers and you will know if they are ready).
- Leave them to cool and stand in the water in which they were boiled overnight (about 8 hours).
- Then strain them, and put the liquid to boil in order to get a higher concentration of proteins (the water should evaporate by about 50 percent).
- The liquid you get should be thick.
- When you rub it between two fingers, it should have a sticky texture similar to egg white (note that this liquid has a lower density).
- When your lean egg whites have cooled down well, you can start preparing various lean diakonies.
- You can prepare bacon and sweets from this egg white
PS The fastest and easiest way to prepare food from egg whites is if you buy a can of cooked chickpeas and drain the liquid.. You can whip it right away. Whipping lean egg whites takes a little longer compared to the time of whipping real egg whites - about ten minutes.
The ratio of lean egg whites, sugar, dry weight is not the same as that of real egg whites. The sweet ratio that turned out to be good is: 1:0,85:1,5 (whites, sugar, dry mass). The dry mass varies depending on how finely ground it is.
If the process of preparing this egg white seems complicated to you, I advise you to buy a can of boiled chickpeas and start experimenting. Especially if you have never met chickpeas before.
You can use chickpeas for some savory dishes - hummus, Falafel, soups, stews, stews, salads, snacks...
The idea for the vegan egg whites is from the internet.
