SKEWERS WITH CHEESY CHIPOTLE SAUCE

This dish features a rich, silky chipotle cheese sauce with plant-based mozzarella, roasted carrots, and smoky chipotle. Creamy, subtly sweet, and gently spicy, it pairs perfectly with golden skewers and crunchy toppings.

Ingredients

For the Skewers
400 g tofu, cut into cubes (or another protein of your choice)
45 ml soy sauce
30 ml oil
15 ml liquid sweetener

For the Cheesy Chipotle Sauce
100 g WoW! Plant-based Shredded Mozzarella Alternative
150 ml water
50 ml oil
1 large carrot, roasted
100 ml cream, such as coconut cream or another heavy cream of your choice
2 tsp chipotle powder
2 tsp salt

For Serving
Pangrattato, optional
Chopped peanuts
Fresh parsley, chopped
Chipotle powder, for dusting
Chili oil, for drizzling

Instructions

1. Prepare the Skewers

Place the cubed tofu or your preferred protein in a bowl. Add the soy sauce, oil, and liquid sweetener. Toss well until every piece is evenly coated.

Thread the pieces onto skewers, arranging them closely together.

2. Roast

Preheat the oven to 220°C.

Line a baking tray with parchment paper and place the skewers on top.

Roughly chop the carrot into thick pieces, drizzle with a little oil, and arrange the pieces around the skewers on the tray.

Roast until the tofu is golden and the carrot is completely tender and lightly caramelized.

3. Make the Roasted Carrot Cream

Remove the roasted carrot from the oven and transfer it to a food processor. Add the cream and chipotle powder, then blend until completely smooth and creamy.

4. Prepare the Cheesy Cream

In a small saucepan, combine the WoW! Plant-based Shredded Mozzarella Alternative, water, and olive oil.

Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture melts and develops a smooth, silky consistency. Taste and adjust the seasonings if needed.

5. Combine the Sauces

Transfer the roasted carrot cream into the saucepan with the cheesy cream. Whisk thoroughly until the two mixtures are fully incorporated and the sauce is smooth and velvety.

Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.

6. Assemble and Serve

Spoon approximately 3 tbsp of the warm cheesy chipotle carrot cream onto each plate.

Place the skewers over the sauce and finish with chopped peanuts, pangrattato, and fresh parsley.

Dust lightly with chipotle powder and drizzle with chili oil.

Serve immediately while the sauce is warm and silky.
