Liana’s tips:
- For a vegan version, substitute the egg with a flax egg. In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of water with 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal. Mix and let sit for 15 minutes to thicken.
- Serve as a snack with organic ketchup or vegan sour cream, or add them as a topping to salads, soups and sandwiches.
