Vegan mozzarella is white, soft and stringy exactly like mozzarella made with cow's milk. Obviously it does not have the same taste, nor the consistency, but it is a valid alternative to cow mozzarella if you do not want to give up a caprese or a good margherita pizza.

Plant alternatives

Who renunciation of animal proteins he does not necessarily have to give up many foods that contain them, or rather, he can try vegetable alternatives.
There are in fact many cheeses produced on soy milk and also cold cuts very similar in appearance and consistency to our cooked ham, salami and mortadella, generally based on seitan and tofu.
With the soy granulate then you can prepare delicious condiments for pasta similar to ragù and also vegetable burgers. And do you know that there are also some excellent vegan frankfurters?
In short, choosing to be vegan and vegan does not mean eating only salad!

Vegan mozzarella recipe

Vegan mozzarella can be prepared at home and we recommend you try it.
First mince a shallot and stew it in a pan over low heat with a little water. Then add 150 grams of soy yogurt, 120 ml of soy milk, two tablespoons of cornstarch and a tablespoon of agar agar.
Season with salt and blend everything. Then add 120 gr of soy ricotta and blend again. Put everything back on the fire until the mixture takes on consistency and at this point add a spoonful of extra virgin olive oil and stir until the liquid mixture begins to detach from the walls.
Leave to cool for about an hour in the refrigerator and then divide the mixture into balls.
Work them gently with lightly greased hands to give them a rounded shape.
Yours are ready vegan mozzarella!
