Vegan Stacked Timbale
A delicious and nutritious vegan appetizer.
Ingredients
*all ingredients are organic
- 1 small butternut squash; washed, peeled and sliced into ½ inch slices.
- 2 avocados
- 2 c. cooked great northern white beans, reserve some liquid.
- 1 clove of roasted garlic (wrap the bulb in foil and place in a toaster oven for 5-8 min. on 350°)
- 2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 1 lemon
- 1 tbsp. melted coconut oil
- sea salt and cracked pepper
- fresh parsley
- whole grain toast or tortillas
Directions
- Steam the slices of squash for 5 minutes and chop into small cubes. Mix the cubes with 1 tbsp. melted coconut oil, salt and pepper. Place on the side.
- Place the beans, roasted garlic, extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper in a mini processor and pulse until smooth. If necessary, add in a bit of the reserved water from the beans, just not too much. It should be on the thick side.
- Scoop the bean spread into a bowl and rinse out the processor.
- Spoon slices of the avocado into the processor with the juice of a lemon and salt and pepper. If you like heat, add in cumin or chile powder. Pulse until smooth.
- Using the rest of the EVOO, grease the inside of a ramekin or mold and begin placing the squash at the bottom.
- Next, spoon in the bean spread followed by the avocado.
- Place the mold in the freezer for 15 minutes to firm it up, then run a dull knife around the inside to loosen it up. Gently turn it upside down slowly and it will release. Serve with toasted gf whole grain bread slices or tortillas.
