Vegan fondue cheese bites
Serves 1
Directions
- 1Boil the cashews for 10–15 minutes until soft or soak overnight. Boil potatoes and chickpeas until tender.
- 2Add all ingredients except the vegan cheese, garlic cloves, wine, and bicarbonate to a blender. Blend until completely smooth.
- 3Pour the vegan fondue into ice cube molds and freeze for at least 5 hours.
- 4In a bowl, whisk together flour, paprika, garlic powder, water, salt, and pepper until you have a smooth, lump-free batter.
- 5Place the panko breadcrumbs in a separate shallow bowl.
- 6Dip each frozen fondue cube into the batter, letting the excess drip off, then roll in panko until fully coated.
- 7Heat oil to 180°C (350°F). Fry the bites in small batches for 2–3 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and crispy.
- 8Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Serve immediately.
