SUPER-BASIC POLENTA
- 1/2 cup dry cornmeal (or polenta)
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- Optional: turmeric, cinnamon, cumin, paprika
- Nutritional yeast (also optional)
- Add 1 cup water to the multicooker pot. Place a steam trivet or basket in the pot.
- Combine the dry cornmeal, coconut milk and broth (or 2 cups of any liquid) in a bowl or pot* that is heat-safe and can fit in the multicooker with room around the edges.
- Cover the pot, set for 15 minutes on high pressure. Use a natural release (release after 15 minutes).
- Stir in nutritional yeast, if using, to taste.
*A 3-qt multicooker pot fits in many 6- and 8-qt pots!
SOYMILK YOGURT
The method: Drop the powder from one probiotic capsule (I like 30 billion flora or higher) or the contents of one packet of vegan culture into a box of unsweetened, plain soymilk (with only two ingredients: water and soybeans)—shake, shake, shake—and then pour into jars or directly into the multicooker pot and incubate 8 to 10 hours on the yogurt function. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to a month.
How to use:
- Serve as is with fresh fruit or in smoothies
- Add a few drops of extract - vanilla, almond, lemon, or peppermint - and a little maple syrup (1/2 to 1 teaspoon) for flavored sweetened yogurt.
- Use in place of vegan mayo for salad dressings.
