Wai Lana's Cauliflower Pastries

Here's another great recipe from Wai Lana. It is equally delicious as the first Wai lana recipe I posted (avocado tarts) enjoy!

Filling:
3/4 cup fresh cashew milk*
1 tsp. olive oil
1 1/2 cups cauliflower, finely chopped
1 tsp. fresh ginger juice**
1 tsp. lemon juice
1/4 tsp. ground coriander
Pinch of turmeric and asafetida
1/2 Tbsp. Bragg liquid aminos
1/16 tsp. salt, or to taste
1 Tbsp. cornstarch mixed with 2 Tbsp. water

Pastry:
3/4 cup unbleached white flour
1/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
2 tsp. egg replacer powder
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/16 tsp. baking soda
1/8 tsp. salt
3 Tbsp. olive oil
1 Tbsp. eggless mayonnaise
3-4 Tbsp. water, or as needed

1. Prepare the cashew milk as directed below and set aside. Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet on medium heat and sauté the cauliflower until lightly browned. Add a little water and cook until tender.

2. Stir in the cashew milk and the next 6 filling ingredients and gently simmer for a few minutes. Add the cornstarch mixture and stir until thickened. Cool before using.

3. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Combine the dry pastry ingredients in a medium bowl. Add the oil and eggless mayonnaise and rub in until evenly crumbly. Gradually add enough water to make a soft ball.

4. Divide the dough into 8 pieces. On a floured work surface, roll the pieces out into thin circles about 1/16 inch thick. Spoon 1/8 of the filling onto one side of each pastry, leaving room to seal.

5. Fold the other side over the filling. Seal by fork-pressing the edges evenly. Prick the tops and lay the pastries on an oiled cookie sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, or until light golden brown.

Makes 8 half moon pastries

*Cashew milk: Blend 1/4 cup raw cashew pieces with 1 cup hot water until smooth. Strain through a fine strainer.

**To make fresh ginger juice, simply grate some fresh ginger, then manually squeeze the pulp.
