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.

Parmesan cheeze

    This is wonderful sprinkled on many of the different recipes.

1 C. sesame seeds
1/4 C. Nutritional Yeast
1 1/2 tsp. onion powder
2 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 1/2 tsp. salt

Grind the sesame seeds, add the rest of the ingredients by hand.

Sausage "meet"

    Both the Sausage and Taco meets are wonderful, we use the sausage meet on Raw Spaghetti.

1 C. Walnuts
1 1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/2  tsps. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. ground fennel
1 1/2 tsp. oregano
1 1/2 tsp. Bragg's
1/4 tsp. salt

Blend in food processor. Enjoy!

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.
