Yes, it's very thick and hard to deal with, but I don't think I added liquid or would have mentioned it in the recipe directions. The batter is "packed" into the pan after cooking. It can't be poured.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16146578985330272891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2279822094292237889.post-77898031025622569792017-03-15T19:07:18.085-07:002017-03-15T19:07:18.085-07:00Hi Andrea,

It came out looking like cheese and was good, but I had to add extra water for it to blend and extra water to cook it for the 20 minutes.<br /> It was very thick even before cooking it. It was too thick to pour it.<br /> What was the texture of your cheese after blending and after cooking the 20 minutes? Could you pour it like pancake batter ?Deborahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2279822094292237889.post-69383462241801340872017-02-15T11:10:08.272-08:002017-02-15T11:10:08.272-08:00Hi Janet!

It's been years since I made this, and the cheeses vegans are making today are a far cry from what we made in 2008. Still, I remember loving this garbanzo cheese, and I'm happy you reminded me about it — blog recipes so often get lost over the years. Your changes and additions sound delicious. It's really good cooked, and you might want to try it sometime, unless of course, you follow a raw diet.

I used cashews in mine and did not cook - it had a cheese spread consistency. I also added a quarter of an orange bell pepper for color. I then made a grilled cheese sandwich with thinly sliced onions - heaven.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07409936078381862519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2279822094292237889.post-10969986195077825612014-08-21T06:03:47.183-07:002014-08-21T06:03:47.183-07:00Thank-you , sesame seed would be fine allergy wise...Thank-you , sesame seed would be fine allergy wise :) but unfortunately I would not be able to try the sunflower seed .

I used to use the flour years ago but I can't remember what I used it for! <BR/>The tofu sounds like more work than this, which really isn't much work other than remembering to rinse the chick peas every day. You could try making it and let me know. (And let me taste it!)<BR/>The garbanzo cheese really is interesting and I need more ideas about how to use it. The chick pea tofu looks a lot smoother.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16146578985330272891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2279822094292237889.post-11256972416760817972008-06-06T21:52:00.000-07:002008-06-06T21:52:00.000-07:00This is really interesting, because I have some ch...This is really interesting, because I have some chickpea flour around and have thought that at some point I would try to make Burmese Tofu, which sounds pretty much like your garbanzo cheese. Sounds just as labor intensive, too.
