Post by: sarah.j on May 17, 2011, 11:31:17 am

Custard - Vegan & Gluten Free
Serves 4-6, depending on serve size
Ingredients:
Rind of 1 Orange
Juice of 1 Orange
50g Raw Cashews
1/2tsp Ground Coriander
20g Polenta
35g Sugar/Honey or to taste
375g Water & Orange Juice combined

Preparation:
Place orange rind and sugar if using into TM Bowl and pulverise for 10 seconds on speed 9
Add polenta, cashew nuts and coriander, blend for 20 seconds on speed 9. Add juice and water, cook for 8 minutes, 100deg on speed 2.
Blend for 20 - 30 seconds on speed 9.

Tips/Hints:
For larger quantity; increase cashews to 100g, polenta to 30g and liquid to 750g(I added juice of 2 oranges then topped up with water). Cook this amount for 10 minutes then blend.

This looks really interesting.  Does it really have ground coriander in it?  How do you think nutmeg or cardamom would  go in it?

Yep, ground coriander it does contain. I didn't have any when I first made this but I had loads of seeds so I made some fresh first.
I will admit I hate polenta (we call it placenta in our house) but I had to try this recipe for a demo I did; now I can't get enough of it. It has completely changed my view on polenta.
I am sure it could be substituted though with another flavour.

An interesting recipe. I'm sure it will be very handy for lots of people with intolerances.

from my understanding polenta has gluten so sadly no go here.  Also all the sals..... *sigh* thanks though sounds different

Polenta is gluten free; it is simply maize (corn)
Excuse my computer illiteracy though... what is sals? I would hate to be advertising this as safe to eat if it isn't.

It is short for salicylates Sarah.  I'm not up with all these failsafe terms but know that one.

Thanks for the name Judy, I looked it up on google after that tip.
So would the orange be no good then?
I have another recipe to post, may help, but no time tonight - sleep is calling.

From what I've read, yes they are high in salicylates.  Perhaps someone who is in the know can explain a bit more about this.

Thanks so much for the recipe.  DD2 and I have recently been diagnosed as intolerant to eggs  :o  I'm used to my wheat intolerance and her lactose intolerance - but this news was a bit of a blow, as I really can't get my head around no eggs.  Now you've started me off in the right direction with this recipe.
