So last night I decided to give Raw cooking another try
Love- the- Chicks Pate
2 cups almonds
1 cup sunflower seeds, dry
1/2 tsp sea salt
2 tsp tumeric
1 cup water [i added a bit more]
- add dry ingredients into food processor first, then slowly add water - it will not be completely smooth and creamy - it will have small pieces in it.
[this makes 4 servings according to the book but the servings i served on a bed of spinach made it so i could have had at least 6 or 7 servings. Nutrition if you do 4 servings is - 386 calories, 22 g protein, 11g carbs 24g of fat [but very healthy fats!!!] and 3g of sugar. Percent Daily Values: 22% potassium, 21% calcium, 31% iron, 176% vitamin E, 77% magnesium, 119% manganese, 33% selenium, 46% dietary fiber - and alot more nutrition that my fingers dont want to type.]
I made this into a "spanish scramble" and asses 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, 1 cup tomato diced, 1/4 cup chopped scallions. and served it on a bed of lettuce
Marinated Portabello Steak with Brazil-Broccoli mash
"Steak"
4 portabello mushrooms
1/4 cup EVOO
1/3 cup nama shoyu [or soy sauce if you are not really raw/vegan ]
1 TBsp finely chopped rosemary
- in large bowl, coat mushrooms with oil, nama shoyu, and rosemary - set aside for an hour or two to marinate
Brazil Broccoli Mash
1 clove garlic
1 tsp sea salt
1 cup brazil nuts
2 cups Broccoli - chopped
- process pepper, garlic, and brazil nuts into fine powder - empty powder into a bowl and set aside.
- process broccoli while slowly adding brazil nut powder back in.
To serve
Slice each mushroom into 4 or 5 slices and serve on top of a scoop of broccoli mash [you could also leave the mushrooms whole and fill the center with the mash]
I leave for Germany tomorrow so I wont be cooking very much for the next month or so...and I doubt I will be able to eat as much raw//vegan as I would like to...I hope I dont get sick from the vegetables over there!! I have all my gluten free granol and nutrition bars packed and ready to go for an emergency food crisis! Lets hope what happened in Africa doesnt happen again with that sneaky gluten!!
Happy eating and living <3
