Variations

Substitutions for a vegan version

Instead of: 140 g pechuga pollo

Use: same amount of pressed firm tofu cubes or sliced oyster mushrooms

Why: Poultry provides protein and juiciness; tofu or mushrooms absorb the same pan flavours.

Tip: Marinate tofu 15 min in soy sauce and oil before browning. If using mushrooms, sauté until they release liquid and brown.
Instead of: 40 g yogur griego

Use: same amount of unsweetened plain soy yogurt

Why: Yogurt adds acidity and creaminess; plant yogurt keeps the acidic balance in sauces and marinades.

Tip: Do not boil plant yogurt or it will split. Stir in off heat or at the end.
Instead of: 15 g parmesano

Use: same amount of grated vegan cheese or mix 2 parts nutritional yeast + 1 part ground almonds

Why: Cheese adds fat, salt and umami; nutritional yeast mimics fermented flavour in sauces and gratins.

Tip: Add off heat to melt. For gratin, use vegan cheese that melts well. Taste for salt before serving.

Other variations

Versión más ligera: reduce el aceite a 1 cucharadita y aumenta la verdura en Ensalada César ligera.
