Vegetarian Star

Nigella Lawson was a recent guest on NPR’s Morning Edition.

The program has launched “Cook Your Cupboard,” a segment that explores what to do with the random items in your refrigerator you bought eons ago and need to find a use for.

Lawson took one listener’s collection of items and suggested several vegetarian dishes of chili, almond milk pancakes and cauliflower soup with almond milk.

As with any substitution, you’ll need to make a few adjustments when using almond milk for dairy.

Nigella’s suggestions:

“You could make really exquisite and healthful pancakes. If you have some overripe bananas, chop them up and mix a teeny bit of cider vinegar, some almond milk (use less almond milk than you would regular milk, since it’s a bit more watery), some flour and an egg, and you’ve got some low-GI breakfast pancakes.”

The same non-dairy beverage can improve the flavor of cauliflower soup:

“You could make a rather delicious regular mashed potato using almond milk — and you can use cauliflower in place of potatoes, and blend it with almond milk to make a soup or a mash. Because of that subtle sweetness, the almond milk, it takes off some of that very aggressive cabbage-y undernote of cauliflower.”
