RECIPE:
Tapioca Tacos (Gluten Free!) with Coconut and Berry Coulis
1 cup Tapioca Starch
1/3 cup water (approximate)
¼ tsp. salt
Shredded coconut
Local honey
6 oz. of berries
1/8 cup water
3 Tbl. sugar
pinch of salt
1 tsp. lemon juice
To make the Tacos: - Place Tapioca Starch in a medium bowl. - Slowly add water 2 tablespoons at a time stirring with your fingers. The mixture will form large clumps that break down with your fingers. - Keep adding water until you get medium clumps. If you add too much water, and get a think liquid, add more tapioca. - Pass mixture through a sieve into a clean bowl. - Use a ladle to place 1/3 cup of this mixture at a time into a nonstick pan on medium heat. Work quickly. Cook 30-40 seconds or until the taco freely moves in the pan. - With a spatula; flip and cook an additional 30-40 seconds and remove. - Fill with shredded coconut and dip in berry coulis. To make the Berry Coulis:
- In a small saucepan, bring berries, water, and salt to a bare simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook until sugar is dissolved and berries are heated through, about 1 minute longer.
- Use a blender to puree until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh strainer.
- Add lemon juice and let cool to room temperature before serving.
