Vegan Spring Onion and Herb Cornbread

This vibrant vegan cornbread is a delightful twist on a classic, bursting with fresh spring onions and a medley of bright herbs. Baked in a cast iron skillet for a beautifully crisp edge and tender crumb, it's scattered with tangy vegan feta for a savory and satisfying bite. A perfect side or light meal, full of warm, comforting flavors. This isn't just cornbread; it's a warm, flavorful hug on a plate, a vibrant celebration of spring's bounty in a comforting, rustic skillet.

Ingredients:

  • 1 Tbsp Vegetable Oil
  • 1 bunch Spring Onions, trimmed and sliced
  • 2 cups Yellow Sweet Corn (defrosted and patted dry if frozen)
  • ½ cup chopped fresh Spring Herbs, such as Chives, Parsley and Tarragon
  • ¼ tsp Kosher Salt
  • 2 Tbsp Ground Flaxseed or Chia Seeds
  • 6 Tbsp Water (to make a flax/chia "egg")
  • ½ cup Vegan Butter, melted
  • 1 cup Water or Plant-Based Milk (unsweetened)
  • 1 package Vegan Golden Cornbread Mix (check ingredients carefully; many are accidentally vegan, or use a reliable vegan brand like Pamela's Products, available on Amazon.com)
  • 3 oz crumbled Vegan Feta or other non-dairy crumbled cheese alternative

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven according to the instructions on your vegan cornbread mix. Grease an appropriate sized baking dish.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced spring onions and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, prepare your flax/chia "egg" by whisking together the ground flaxseed or chia seeds with the 6 tablespoons of water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to thicken.
  4. Add the defrosted and dried corn, softened spring onions, chopped fresh herbs, and salt to the bowl with the flax/chia "egg". Stir to combine.
  5. Melt the vegan butter and add it to the bowl. Stir well.
  6. Add the water or plant-based milk and the vegan cornbread mix to the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Gently fold in the crumbled vegan feta or cheese alternative.
  8. Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish.
  9. Bake according to the vegan cornbread mix instructions, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Baking times may vary depending on the mix and your oven.
  10. Let the cornbread cool in the pan for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Important Considerations:

  • Cornbread Mix: This is a crucial element. Carefully check the ingredients list of your cornbread mix to ensure it doesn't contain any animal products like eggs, milk, or whey. Some popular brands like Pamela's Products Cornbread and Muffin Mix are often vegan-friendly. Alternatively, you can find specific vegan cornbread mixes from other brands. You could also make a cornbread from scratch using vegan ingredients if you prefer more control.
  • Milk: If the cornbread mix requires milk, use unsweetened plant-based milk like almond, oat, or cashew milk. Water can also work in some mixes, but plant-based milk will add more richness.
Enjoy your delicious and vegan Spring Onion and Herb Cornbread!

The Curses Fulfilled: African American Slavery and America's Unfinished Exodus

  T he story of the Exodus is one of miraculous deliverance from slavery, plague, and systemic oppression. But what if the ultimate threat to a covenant people was not Pharaoh, but the  failure of their own heart ? Moses warned Israel on the plains of Moab: choose life, and blessing will pursue you; choose death, and the curses will hunt you down. Among the most chilling of these warnings in  Deuteronomy 28:15-68  is the prophetic horror of the  Full Inversion (Reversal) of the Exodus : that the delivered nation would, by its own choices, become the very thing they fled. The curse is not merely punishment; it is the  judicial undoing of the miracle of deliverance. Let’s unpack how these ancient prophecies found a devastating, literal fulfillment in the historical experience of  African American slavery in the USA , and how their echoes still shape our present. Key Point 1: The Literal Curse – Bondage in Ships (Deuteronomy 28:68) The most haunting proph...
