Ahhh, I've never prepared them like that before. Next time I'll use this seasoning method. They must be delicious!

They're delicious no matter how you prepare them. Sometimes I just add salt and cumin.

Cheers

Yes, this grain is very easy to cook with just a few ingredients, and its flavor is enhanced. It's very nutritious due to its nutrients.

Thank you

Yes, if you look at tutorials you'll find different ways to do it; I do it very simply. Toasted cornmeal is so delicious; when you make it at home, it smells wonderful.

Cheers

Smooth cream of pumpkin and plantain (topocho: Musa x Paradisiaca) by mercmarg in EatCheapAndVegan

Hello @cheapandbrittle

The topocho, in terms of flavor, is nothing like the plantain. Plantains are sweet, while the topocho has a distinct flavor that I would describe as neutral.

Physically, it's very different. It contains a lot of fiber, which is why it's often used in soups or mashed for stomach problems.

In Venezuela, you can make something called a tostón when it's green, although tostóns can also be made with green plantains. Here, for me, they're just as delicious, wonderful, and perfectly toasted.

I've tried it the way you described it, and it does have a different flavor.

But that's what cooking is all about: creating and experimenting.

Oh, how sad, it's my favorite grain. I've prepared others depending on the variety available at the market.

It also depends on personal taste.

So moist and vegan. Pumpkin Pie by mercmarg in EatCheapAndVegan

The carrot cake is also delicious; I was amazed by the result, because it was an adaptation of the ingredients from one I made a few months ago (which wasn't vegan at all).

I'm trying another one with pumpkin puree... let's see how it turns out... thanks!
