Hello everyone...
When we hear about vegan food and also Gluten free, it becomes very interesting, right friends? How could it not be interesting if there is delicious food that can really be enjoyed by people who have gluten allergies and also vegans.
One of them is the food I made today. This is an ancient food of our ancestors, especially those who live on the island of Java. This food became very popular in the past considering the raw materials are cheap and easy to find.
The name of this food is "LENTHO" made from beans, usually using tholo type beans which are then processed with spices and mixed with gaplek flour or flour made from mashed dried cassava.
As a modification of tholo beans because I don't have any stock of tholo beans, I tried replacing them with tempeh and it turned out to taste good.
In today's era, this food is very rare and has few fans even though this food has a delicious, spicy savory taste of course. I immediately started making this food by starting to prepare the ingredients
Ingredients needed:
50 grams of tempeh
200 grams of cassava flour
1 stalk of spring onion
1 bunch of basil
3 chilies
3 cloves of garlic
150 ml of water
1 tbsp salt
1 tsp mushroom stock
½ tsp pepper powder
How to Make:
• Prepare all ingredients. Then puree garlic, salt and chili. Set aside
• also puree tempeh
• cut the spring onions and pick the basil leaves.
• in a container add cassava flour then add the smooth tempeh, add the fine spices, pepper and also mushroom stock.
• add the chopped spring onions and basil and also add water
• stir until well blended and forms a dough like perkedel or like in this photo.
• fry the dough in hot oil until golden brown.
• Lentho is ready to serve. Serving suggestions are eaten while still warm.
Tips if you use peanuts you have to soak the peanuts overnight so that the peanuts are easy to soften. Then you just mix them in the dough as I show in the step by step.
Now this is one of the foods from my ancestors that I still really like. Although not many people sell or know this food, it is only right that I help preserve this ancestral heritage by continuing to consume it and trying to make it myself at home.
How about you, is there any old food that you can still enjoy today?
That's all for my writing this time, I hope you are interested in trying to make it at home. Thank you for all your support. God Bless you all.
