Vegan Mummy Dogs
Description
Vegan Mummy Dogs use a cooked vegetable mixture of potatoes, onions, garlic, carrots, green beans, and peas, flavored with spices like garam masala, chaat masala, coriander, cumin, and cayenne pepper. After cooking and mashing the vegetables with spices and breadcrumbs for binding, they are shaped into small dog-like forms. These are then wrapped in thin strips of rolled-out whole wheat pizza dough to create a layered texture with a crisp, golden crust from baking or frying. The combination of aromatic spices and varied vegetables offers a warming, hearty filling enclosed in a flaky exterior.
The recipe allows customization of spices for more sausage-like flavors by incorporating coriander, mustard, paprika, fennel, celery seeds, and nutritional yeast. The dough wrapping provides structure and a golden crust. These can be baked or shallow-fried to finish. The result suits veggie-based appetizers, snacks, or additions to meals, offering complex spice notes and varied textures.
For crisper texture, the cutlets can be pre-baked or shallow-fried before wrapping. Adjust breadcrumbs to ensure mixture is moldable. The recipe's use of whole wheat dough and varied vegetables makes it filling and versatile.
