RE: Steemit Fruits & Veggies Monday - Magical Aquafaba Meringues
I came across this the other day - can't remember where - and that you can also use aquafaba to make an omelette. I need to give this a go. Because I make hummus regularly for the market, I often have the brine. And, incidentally, I've been asked to make short bread biscuits for a new health cafe in the village. Now you've given me another idea.... I need to give this a go. Most definitely. Oh, and I'm going to look at the mayonnaise, too, because that, I know I would also have a market for. And, of course, I hate waste. I console myself knowing the brine's going into the compost... But now? Yay!
Oh, and another thought @lizelle - this would make a fabulous casing for a pavlova. Or as an accompaniment for a fruit salad cup. Brilliant. You've got me all inspired! Pity I won't be making hummus for a while. Perhaps I'll find another reason to use chickpeas!!
You can always make a quick bean curry and add the Chickpeas - I'm not a fan of canned foods but when it comes to legumes and pulses, it's often a lifesaver so now always have a selection of those on hand.
With these meringues, some say that they melt quite quickly but mine has been fine and we live in a very humid climate so it would be a good idea to put everything together at the last minute with a pavlova.
I hope we're going to see your Aquafaba creations here:) It's really magical stuff!
Oh, I have tins of beans and chickpeas as regular stand-bys in my pantry! Sunday's Supper for veggies is likely to be a cauli and chickpea curry, anyway ;)
Thanks for the tip on the meringues.
