Deep-Fried Ricotta Puffs

Ingredients

1 can of coconut milk
1/2tsp coconut Vinegar
1/2 tbsp. Sugar
2/3tsp salt
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup cornflour
3tbsp chickpea flour
1tsp baking powder
1/2tsp salt
1/2tsp ener-g whisked with 5tbsp water

Additives

• Agar-agar 5 tsps

Steps

Heat the coconut milk in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk until well-emulsified. Add in the vinegar, sugar, salt and agar and whisk continuously for five minutes. Increase the heat to medium and continue to whisk for five minutes more. By this time, it should be coming to a small boil. Continue to whisk at a small boil for about two minutes more and then remove from the heat. Pour the mixture into a shallow glass pyrex dish, cover with saran wrap, and place in the refrigerator overnight to gel. Scrape the gelled mixture into a food processor and blend until it resembles a ricotta texture. Roll into golfball sized balls and place back into the refrigerator. When you are ready to fry, combine the flours, baking powder and salt in a bowl. In another bowl, place the Ener-G/water mixture. Heat plenty of oil in a small saucepan over medium high heat. Test the oil's readiness by inserting a wooden spoon into it—if bubbles form around the spoon immediately, you are ready to fry. Dip the ricotta into the Ener-G mixture, then coat with the flour mixture. Slowly slide it into the oil and fry for about a minute and a half, in batches of two or three pieces. Remove and place on paper towels to drain. Serve immediately with the marinara sauce.
