    If your dates aren’t soft can soaking them help?

    • @zaracooks
      @zaracooks 2 дня назад

      From my experience, treats made with soft dates (don’t need soaking) last and stay safe to consumption for longer. If you have no choice but soaking your dates, make sure you consume them quickly or store them in the freezer to ovoid spoilage (from the dates moisture) 🙏

    Since I'm using feta for the filling, can I substitute feta for the cottage cheese?

    • @zaracooks
      @zaracooks 4 дня назад

      Yes, you can use feta cheese also for the lentil batter, if that what you prefer. Just make sure you add some of the water feta cheese (if it’s not the dry version) that you can keep the right batter consistency (cottage cheese contains some liquid) 🙏

      Yes, oats are naturally gluten free in nature. They can be contaminated with gluten when processed in facilities that deal with wheat or rye! People with celiac need to buy certified gluten free oats, though 🙏

    Can you use yogurt instead of milk?

    • @zaracooks
      @zaracooks 6 дней назад

      I think, you can start by soaking dried apricots in hot water. Once, soft and tender, strain them. Add to them your preferred yogurt and blend until soft and well incorporated. You should get a great ´mousse’ as well 🙏

  • @sylviahanna7820
    @sylviahanna7820 8 дней назад

    Looks yummy and easy to make, but unfortunately not healthy. Did you know that the milk in the cheese prohibits the body's absorption of the iron in the spinach?

    • @zaracooks
      @zaracooks 8 дней назад

      Thank you for your feedback 🙏 I’m glad to know you’re providing real and true nutritional information about iron and its negative interaction with dairy product (more specifically, calcium). For that exact reason, I’m using cottage cheese. It’s the least rich in calcium (only 250 mg in 1 cup cottage cheese) and if you look to the quantity of calcium per slide (250 mg / 9 slides) it’s only ~28 mg of calcium! That shouldn’t affect at all the iron absorption (check the paper, I’m linking below). irondisorders.org/diet/ Actually, the eggs (yolks, in particular) are more negatively affecting iron absorption in this case, and when I’m suffering low iron myself, I just use egg whites for the recipe (the softness and bread like taste of these recipes is reachable only with those two ingredients, a dairy product and eggs). It’s hard to start mentioning all these details when most people interested in gluten-free recipes are not suffering from an iron deficiency 🙏

    • @zaracooks
      @zaracooks 13 дней назад

      Sorry, but I haven’t tried the recipe with lentils flour. I prefer to work with wholesome foods as much as I can 🙏 I think, you can use red lentil flour, but you may need to adjust the liquid to get the right batter consistency (add up to a 1/2 cup water) 🤗

  • @user-dh2lr6bx2g
    @user-dh2lr6bx2g 13 дней назад

    Well I made your recipe and it was very good but I don't think as good as yours would be. I had to substitute out cottage cheese and use ricotta because you can't get good cottage cheese where I live and hence it was less flavourful I think, and needed salt. Anyway I have to thank you because this is now going to be a ‘go to recipe’ for me with various substitutions of vegetables, mushrooms, etc. Can you recommend a different cheese aside from ricotta, which is very good but less flavourful than cottage cheese.

    • @zaracooks
      @zaracooks 13 дней назад

      Thank you for your insight on the recipe. Glad that overall, you loved it 🙏 Yes, you can use sour cream, Greek yogurt or even a thick and creamy plain yogurt instead of cottage cheese. Unlike the ricotta cheese that tastes is a bit different, with any of these 3 alternatives, I’m sure the taste will be similar to the one in the recipe (with cottage cheese) 🥰

    What would be the replacement for eggs and cottage cheese ?

    • @zaracooks
      @zaracooks 19 дней назад

      You can skip the eggs or use an egg substitute like “Just Egg”. If you skip the eggs you need to add an extra 1/4 cup of dairy. Instead of cottage cheese, you can use sour cream, plain yogurt or Greek yogurt 🙏

    What substitutes can I use instead of egg

    • @zaracooks
      @zaracooks 19 дней назад

      It’s hard to replace the eggs in this particular recipe 🥹 But, if you’re vegan, I would suggest you add a 1/4 cup chickpea flour or polenta. You can a 1/4 cup of water (or brought) to one or the other (to dissolve) and add to the rest of ingredients. It will help for the binding part without altering the original taste too much 🙏

    • @SR-cz5yy
      @SR-cz5yy 5 дней назад

      I was thinking the same. Maybe we can try ground flaxseed. 1 tbsp for 1 egg. Soaked in 3 tbsp water for 10 mins. It's mainly for binding and making the muffins light. Add half tsp bicarbonate for raising and softness. Chickpea flour would probably make them dense without enough raising agents.

      The long recipe is linked within the reel already if you want to watch it! Or, here’s is the description for you 🙏 Instructions: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line the cups of a mini loaf pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking. In a medium bowl, combine the sesame seeds with maple syrup. Mix thoroughly until every seed is well-coated with the syrup, which acts as the binder. Spoon about 1 ½ tablespoons of the sticky sesame mixture into each parchment-lined loaf cup. Use an espresso coffee spoon or any small spoon to press the mixture firmly, ensuring a smooth and even distribution. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Allow the sesame crunches to cool completely in the pan before removing them. This ensures they are set properly and hold their shape. Ingredients for 8 larges sesame crunch candies: 1 cup (120 g) sesame seeds 3 to 4 tbsp. maple syrup
