Meatless Loaf

This recipe is from Uncook by Juliano submitted by Mrs Fucci
1 1/3 cups walnuts
1 1/3 cups sunflower seeds
1 1/3 cups almonds
1Tbs minced garlic (1 tsp powder)
1/2 cup chopped parsley (3 Tbs dry)
1/2 cup chpd celery
2 cups marinated portabello chpd (I used eggplant)see below
1 Tbs onion,chop (1 tsp dry)
1/2Tbs minced ginger (1/4tsp & 1/8 tsp powder)
2Tbs fresh rosemary (2 tsp dry)
1 Tbs fresh tarragon (1 tsp dry)
1 cup red bell pepper/chpd
1 Tbs jalapeno (1/4 dry)
1 1/2 tsp cumin seeds (1/4-1/2 powder)
1/2 cup olive oil (or flax meal & water to =)
2-6hrs before:(or overnight)
1-soak sunflower seeds and almonds in water to cover
2-marinate portabello (or eggplant) in 1/2 cup Bragg's with 2 Tbs oil
1/2 hr before:
soak walnuts
Drain everything, rinse.
Nuts seeds through juicer or processor til smooth (use the marinade from the portabello if processing )
Everything into bowl and mix well.
Shape into patties, dehydrate till dry. YUM!
 
TIP from Mrs. Fucci:  I haven't made this for years. It delicioso. :) The original recipe made this into a loaf, but I always made patty's because I had the round dehydrator and couldn't make a loaf. But this can be served as a meat(less) loaf. I substituted eggplant for the mushrooms. If you do, chop them into small dices or pulse chop in the processor
I also used dry spices instead of fresh, so those amounts are in () Lots of ingredients, very easy to make.

Process parsley and onion-add to bowl
add rest ingredients to bowl, mix well
roll into small balls and place on trays-flatten slightly with fork
dehydrate 12 hrs to dry-best if no muchies inside.
 
TIP from Mary : I find the sprouted chickpea taste strong, so I didn't like these alone unless dipped in vegannaise :) but were great in salad or on a "sandwich"

Broccoli Carrot Salad

    Yummy salad!

2 C. Broccoli florets
4 C. Carrots (grated)
1 C. Raisins
1 C. Sunflower seeds
1 Small chopped sweet onion

Dressing:
1 C. Mayonnaise (RAW RECIPE here)
2 Tbs. Maple Syrup

Raw Tomato Sauce

    This was one of Mamma's staples during the 21 days Raw! She had it over shredded zucchini with the Parmesan cheeze, and Sausage "meet".

1 onion, quartered
2 lbs plum tomatoes
1 C. firmly packed fresh basil
1 Tbs. salt
1/4 C. Olive oil

-Chop onions in food processor, place tomatoes and basil in and chop
-Place in colander, sprinkle with salt and let sit one hour stirring occasionally
-Add oil and stir

TIP-if you don't let the tomato water drain thoroughly, when you add the oil it will separate.

Taco "Meet"

    This recipe was a wonderful addition to our diet during our 21 days raw! We enjoyed it on the RAW CRACKERS with salsa.......

In a food processor using the S blade, add:
2 C. soaked walnuts, strain and discard water
1 Tbs. Cumin
1 Tbs. Coriander
1-2 Tbs. Nama Shoyu (raw soy sauce), or Bragg's liquid Aminos
1/4 C. Fresh Cilantro

In the food processor, blend the ingredients until it looks like ground beef (about 15 seconds). Note: you might have to stop the machine and use a spoon to help mix the ingredients. Blend will but keep the "meet" texture looking like ground round.

TIP: Soaking seeds and nuts releases enzyme inhibitors, making them easier to digest and promote health. Generally 4-8 hours is sufficient for seed or 12-24 hours for nuts.

Chow Mein Salad

    We made this salad for the first time about 2 weeks into our 21 days raw, and I was in heaven! It is very delicious. :-)

    All you need is: Bean sprouts, curly cabbage, broccoli slaw, shredded zucchini, snow or sugar snap peas, red pepper, and onion. You pretty much just combine it all in a bowl, putting how ever much of each ingredient that you want. There is a very yummy sauce that you can put on it, but if you would rather do something simpler, you can just put some Bragg's and Olive oil on it :-)

Sauce:
1 T. Lecithin (or ground Flax)
1 T. Almond butter ( generaly speaking,this is not raw, but I made and exception)
2 T. Braggs
2  t. Rice vinigar
3/4 t. Onion powder
1/2 t. Ginger
1/2 t. Garlic powder
1/4 t. Salt and Pepper

Enjoy!
