Noasted Turkey Photos

Hello Jim,

I thought you might appreciate these photos of our "Noasted Turkey with Marinara Sauce/Gravy" (Alissa Cohen/Living On Live Foods). We also had cranberry sauce (Rhonda Malkmus/Recipes For Life0, and Parsnip-Pine Nut Whip (GoneRaw.com).

Even the real roasted turkey crowd liked it. It's amazing how people find it almost impossible to imagine anything new - until they see others enjoying it!

Have a great Thanksgiving! Going raw for the holidays will be a breeze this year!

Almond Carrot Pate recipe

Almond Carrot Pâté with Lettuce and Red Bell Peppers
By Frederic Patenaude

Basic recipe serves 3-4

1 cup almonds (measured before soaking)
2-4 medium carrots

Directions:
The almonds should be soaked 8 hours in water, or over night. After soaking, homogenize the carrots and almonds to create a pâté. The best way to do this is to use a Champion juicer or Green Life juicer (or other similar juice) with the blank plate on alternating between the carrots and the soaked almonds. You may also use a food processor or even a blender (more difficult). The idea is to achieve a nice pâté consistency.

* Note: the more carrots you use, the more “juicy” and less fatty the pâté will be. The more almonds you use, the more fatty and rich it will be. It depends on your preference.

When you have the pâté ready, add the following to the mixture:

1 lemon (juice of)
3-5 green onions, chopped fine
Dulse flakes or whole dulse (briefly rinsed) to taste (I usually add several heaping tablespoons of dulse flakes)**

Serve this pâté inside red bell pepper halves and romaine lettuce leaves!

** Note: Dulse is a sea vegetable. You can find it most health food stores. It will give the pâté a more salty and “fishy” flavor, which is what we’re after. I suggest using 2-4 tablespoons of dulse powder. If dulse isn’t available, use some sea salt.

Chili recipe

CHILI
- by Tim Trader and Laurie Master
Serves 4 when served with a simple salad

This is a low-fat, healthful alternative

3 cups tomatoes, diced small
2 cups of red bell peppers, diced small
3/4 cup zucchini, chopped
1/4 cup sun dried tomatoes

Combine 2 cups of tomatoes and 1 cup of bell pepper with sun dried tomatoes and zucchini in the blender. Blend well. Place remaining diced tomatoes and bell peppers into four serving bowls, then pour blended mixture on top. Serve immediately.

Optional: For a more authentic, "chili" taste, you may add 1/4 teaspoon cumin and 1/4 cup of diced onion. Try it first as is, then add if you would like.... enjoy.

[Janee said to blend the tomatoes, red bell pepper and zucchini first and then the sun dried tomatoes.]

BLT recipe

BLT Recipe
- by David Klein

6 large lettuce leaves
1/2 cup of Brazil nuts, soaked and ground
1 oz.of sun dried tomatoes, soaked
1/4 cup of pine nuts, soaked
1 slice large tomato
1 thin slice of sweet onion (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS:

Drain soaked sun dried tomatoes, then blend with ground Brazil nuts.
Add water as needed to make a workable mixture. Form the tomato mixture into a patty. Janee said the Brazil nuts and sun dried tomatoes taste like bacon.

Place the patty on 3 leaves. Drain, rinse and blend pine nuts. Add water as needed to create a creamy consistency. Spoon the pine nut mixture over the patty. The pine nuts act like a mayonnaise. Top with the tomato slice, sliced onion and 3 leaves of lettuce. Enjoy.

If you don't have pine nuts you can always use cashews instead.

Raw couscous by Raven

Raven just invented a new kind of couscous!

Cut up some cauliflower and pulse it in the food processor down to couscous sized bits (about half the size of a grain of rice). Now you have a base that is a lot like rice, or almost exactly like couscous, and that you can flavor the way you would a rice dish. We put olive oil, garlic, salt, paprika, leeks and thinly sliced celery on it. Delicious!! And there are a thousand different ways to vary this dish! Small food processors are available at any home store for as little as $35 and can make your raw vegan lifestyle a lot easier - and more tasty too!

Enjoy!
