Crunchy BBQ Chips

recipe from Abeba’s Krazy Krackers

  • 1 1/2 cup water
  • 2 carrots
  • 2 tomatoes
  • 1-2 dates (soaked for 30 mins)
  • 3/4 tsp chili powder
  • 1 celery stalk
  • 1/2 cup sundried tomatoes (soaked 30 mins)
  • dash of cayenne pepper
  • nama shoyu sauce or celtic salt to taste
  • 2/3 cup flax seeds (soaked over night)
  • 1/4 to 1/2 beet (optional)

Put all ingredients in blender except the flax seeds. Blend well and check the taste. Then add flax seeds and blend well again. The mixture should be slimy and a little thick, but runny like pancake batter. Drop by spoonfuls on Teflex sheet. Dehydrate for 10-12 hours at 105 degrees. Flip krackers and remove sheet. Continue dehydrating 8-10 hours or until desired crispness is obtained. Yields 4-5 trays or approximately 100-200 krackers.

Peanut Sesame Noodle Salad

This is my modification of a cooked recipe from Julie Hasson – truly delicious, and perfect for a potluck, lunch or part of an Asian-style dinner.

Ingredients:

  • 3-4 zucchinis
  • 1/2 cup smooth raw peanut butter
  • 6 tbsp nama shoyu (raw soy sauce)
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 1 1/2 to 2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and cut into pieces
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
  • 3 tbsp raw apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 5 tbsp agave syrup
  • 1 tsp chili powder, or to taste
  • 2 cups thinly shredded purple cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 3/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 4 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 4 tbsp raw sesame seeds

Directions:

Spiralize the zucchini into noodles and set aside in a large bowl. In a large blender jar, add the peanut butter, soy sauce, water, ginger, garlic, vinegar, sesame oil, agave syrup and chili powder. Blend until smooth and creamy. This might take a few minutes – you may have to scrape down the sticky peanut butter on the side of the jar. Pour peanut sauce over noodles, tossing so that noodles are well coated with sauce. Add shredded cabbage, carrots, cilantro, scallions and sesame seeds, tossing until mixed. Adjust seasonings to taste and serve. You can easily eat this the next day, but the sauce will get sticky, changing the texture of the meal (though thankfully not the taste!).

Beet Mush

Yes, more beets, please! This is a winner from Pretty Smart Raw Food Ideas. Fast, easy, healthy, and yummy. Just what is wanted on this blog. Will last a week in the fridge, and great for potlucks.

Ingredients:

1-1/2 beets (depending on size. One big and one small will do.
1/4 onion
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (or more to taste, for sweetness)

Directions:

Finely grind the beets and the onion in a food processor. Add apple cider vinegar and mix well. You can eat this as is (it is about the consistency of a coarse apple sauce) or you can use it as part of a salad, or wrap it in a leaf, if it is dry enough.  I have even used it as an ingredient for raw sushi. You can substitute turnips, or even combine beets, turnips, and carrots. If you fancy, you could add herbs or garlic.
