Vegetables au gratin - Quick recipe with vegan option [ENG/ESP]
Vegetales gratinados - Receta rápida con opción vegana
This was the lunch I prepared a few days ago, and only one thing made it not vegan, my mom wanted me to put cheese on it, but you can substitute it with some vegetable cheese or sea salt.
Este fue el almuerzo que preparé hace unos días, y solo una cosa lo hizo no ser vegano, mi mamá quiso que les pusiera queso, pero puede sustituirse el mismo con algún queso vegetal o con sal marina.
We start by boiling our Vegetables, in this case carrot, cauliflower and broccoli until soft. I know they usually recommend the broccoli to be crunchy, but that's not the flavor I'm looking for now, we want it soft enough but that it holds to the fork when you poke it. We cut th carrot into thin slices while the other vegetables are chopped in large pieces, to level the cooking times, remember that it will go into the oven afterwards.
Empezamos hirviendo nuestros Vegetales, en este caso zanahoria, coliflor y broccoli hasta que estén suaves. Yo sé que suelen recomendar que el broccoli quede crujiente, pero no es el sabor que busco ahora, lo queremos blando pero que se sostenga al pincharlo. La zanahoria la cortamos en rodajas finas mientras los otros Vegetales los dejamos en trozos grandes, para nivelar los tiempos de cocción, recordemos que irá luego al horno.
For the white sauce, fry the onion, chives, celery and leek, cut into small cubes, in a tablespoon of margarine and a little oil, the oil prevents the margarine from burning. Then we will add 2 tablespoons of flour and stir until it is well integrated and changes to a blond color.
We will add to this, by parts, soy milk, if you want you can do it normally with cow's milk or powdered milk diluted in the same water where we boil the vegetables. Soy milk does the job well. It will be approximately one and a half cups of milk. Let it thicken while stirring constantly.
Para la salsa blanca, sofreír cebolla, cebollino, celery y ajo porro cortados en cubitos pequeños, en una cucharada de margarina y un poco de aceite, el aceite es para evitar que se queme la margarina. Luego añadiremos 2 cucharadas de harina y revolvemos hasta que se integre bien y cambie a un color rubio.
Añadiremos a esto, por partes, leche de soya, si quieren pueden hacerlo normalmente con leche de vaca o leche en polvo diluida en la misma agua donde hervimos los vegetales. La leche de soya realiza bien el trabajo. Será aproximadamente taza y media de leche. Dejar espesar removiendo constante.
Place the vegetables in a mold, bathe them in the sauce and place the chosen option on top, cheese or sea salt, a few dots of margarine spread on the surface and bake until the cheese melted or the sauce is well integrated to the vegetables.
Serve with rice and fried plantain slices (or toast, or whatever you like) and ready to enjoy.
Colocar los vegetales en un molde, bañarlos en la salsa y colocar encima la opción elegida, queso o sal marina, unos puntos de margarina repartidos en la superficie y hornear hasta que el queso se derrita o se note la salsa bien integrada a los vegetales.
Servir con arroz y tajadas de plátano frito (o tostadas, o lo que quieran) y listo para disfrutar.
