Blood Orange Chicken & Waffletaschen

Now, these hamantaschen might be bending the rules a bit but hey, I’m all about putting a twist on the classics! Tonight’s special is blood orange chicken & waffletaschen! Waffles and chicken are a great pair and with blood oranges in season (can you tell yet that I’m obsessed?!) I thought they might make a great addition to the recipe. Turns out they’re especially helpful in making the parve buttermilk! If you can’t find blood oranges near you — I know it can be a headache for me to find sometimes — feel free to sub in regular oranges. It’s a great addition to your Purim plans and to keep in your back pocket for whenever you want a delicious and indulgent dinner of Chicken & I-can’t-believe-they’re-parve Waffles.

Ingredients

• 1 cup soy milk
• 1/4 cup blood orange juice

Course Dinner Cuisine American Prep Time 5 minutes Cook Time 20 minutes Servings waffles Ingredients 1 cup soy milk 1/4 cup blood orange juice 2 cup flour 4 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 cup sugar 2 eggs white and yolks separated 1/2 cup oil 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Combine the soy milk with the blood orange juice and let sit for 10 minutes. This will make a parve buttermilk.
2. Mix the dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
3. In separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
4. In another bowl, mix together the egg yolks, parve buttermilk, oil, and vanilla until combined.
5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix well.
6. Fold in egg whites.
7. Oil the waffle maker. Place a triangle mold (or you can make your own, using aluminum foil, alternatively, you can also make regular square waffles and then cut them on the diagonal into triangles though they will be wider triangles) and pour around 1/4 cup batter into the mold. It will spill out a little but you can clean the edges up after. Cook in the waffle iron according to your waffle iron instructions, around 5-7 minutes, until golden.
8. Place on your serving platter and scoop out a little of the waffle from the middle of the waffle. Add your deep fried chicken and candied oranges and serve with the bourbon maple syrup.
