Surprisingly Good Fauxlenta Frycakes and Lazy Bruchette

wooyabee's Note:

There was not much in the house today: just beer and silken tofu at first glance. So here's brunch..

• Total Time: 24 mins
• Prep Time: 4 mins
• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 3

• 1 cup Corona beer
• 12 ounces silken tofu
• 1 pinch salt
• ½ cup cornmeal
• ½ cup whole wheat flour
• 1 pinch dried parsley
• 1 pinch paprika
• 1 pinch turmeric
• 1 pinch coriander
• 1 pinch cumin
• 1 pinch curry
• 2 tomatoes
• 3 leaves basil
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 dash ground sage , cause i felt like it
• garlic powder , generous sprinkle
• onion powder , generous sprinkle
• olive oil , a nice drizzle

Directions:

1. Blend corona, silken, and spices in a blender. Let the mixture sit to thicken up a short while. Should be like pancake batter. Add more beer or more cornmeal to compensate for any inaccuracies in this recipe. Fry spoonfuls of this in a cast iron skillet, using olive oil or butter.
2. Chop up tomatoes, discarding seeds. Chiffonade basil. Mix both with spices and olive oil. Use fresh garlic and onion if its onhand/you're ambitious/not lazy/you're game/not hung over.
3. Everything in this recipe was measured to taste, or eyeballed. This would be great with some beans or greens or veggies chopped up in it!
