Easy 5 ingredients pizza pockets (EN/ RO)


Who likes pizza? I sure do! And these little (or bigger, depends on how big you want them to be) pizza pockets are so much easier to pack when you're on the go than a pizza. And very delicious still!
Also, these pizza pockets are so easy to make and you only need 5 ingredients to create a delicious and quite healthy food that it's also very convenient. We love to eat them with a yogurt and garlic sauce or with just a simple tomato sauce, because what's pizza without a good sauce?
And why am I trying to find reasons for you to enjoy delicious vegan foods? Delicious food is always good and should be enjoyed because it's yummy and because you can!


Ingredients (makes about 8-10 pockets):

Stretchy and melty sunflower mozzarella (EN/ RO)

I have to say... Before going vegan I liked cheese. Especially on a pizza, or in quesadilla...
I didn't had any dairy or other animal products for more than a year now, but I still love some (vegan) cheese from time to time. Especially some homemade cheese, that's not only oil and additives.
The homemade cheeses are usually made from nuts, especially cashews, but those then to be a bit expensive... So I wanted a good cheese that's not very expensive either.
So I turned to my friends, the sunflower seeds. And this mozzarella is stretchy, is melting on a pizza or quesadilla and it's really delicious. And quite affordable too!
I am actually proud of this recipe, to be honest with you!
Yes, this recipe is not oil free, but it's delicious, so I'm willing to eat oil from time to time, just for this yummy cheese :)
Let's go and see what I did!



Ingredients (EN):
** 80 g (0.5 cup) sunflower seeds, soaked for at least 1 hour or overnight
** 500 ml (2 cups) water

** 60 g (4 tbs) coconut oil (optional, but recommended)
** 1 tbsp lemon juice
** 1/2 tsp garlic powder
** 1 tsp salt
** 1/4 tsp ground pepper

Method:
Soak the sunflower seeds for at least 1 hour, or better, overnight.
Add everything in a blender and blend until smooth.
Cook on low-medium heat until it thickens. Use as soon as it cools a bit or let it set in the fridge for at east 1 hour.
Store in the fridge for about 1 week.
