💚 Tres Chiles Soy Curls.
Soy Curls from Butler Foods are kind of amazing sometimes. It took years to really get the hang of cooking with them, but these minimally processed whole soybeans can still wow me!
I added visual prep details to my blog with a couple short clips, but here's the recipe!!
🌶️ INGREDIENTS
3-4 cups water, divided
2 ancho peppers, dry
4 morita peppers, dry
2 California peppers, dry (or Guajillo)
¼ medium red onion, coarsely chopped
5 cloves garlic
½ lime, juiced
¼ tsp sea salt (optional)
4 ounces soy curls, dry
✏️ INSTRUCTIONS
-> Remove seeds from the dry chiles and discard seeds. Add chiles to a small saucepan with water and simmer for just a few minutes to soften. Discard chile broth or save for a spicy, savory sipping broth.
-> Add chiles, onion, garlic, lime juice, and 1 cup water to blender (or food processor) and pulse to combine into a thick, chunky sauce. Do not puree.
-> Add 1 more cup of water (to make 2 cups total) Optionally, add salt to taste, I used ¼ tsp sea salt. Pulse a few times to combine.
-> Pour sauce in an instant pot, add 4 ounces dry soy curls, and optionally a few sticks of celery and a small carrot to impart some more great flavors.
-> Pressure cook on high for 5 minutes and quick release. Enjoy the plant-based meat or set aside the veggies and shred the soy curls if you prefer! Alternatively, you could add a bit more water and simmer to the same texture.
