My spicy cocoa green drink
I’m a foodie, nutrition nut, and advocate for the underrepresented in agriculture and the culinary world. I’m also a “starving” artist so I get quite creative and resourceful in the kitchen. I love going to the store and finding a grain I’ve never seen before. My hope is to encourage people’s curiosities in the their kitchens and diets, to think “outside the pantry/box”. Food isn’t just nutrition for our bodies, but nutrition for our souls. Oh yes, and I want to have fun!
I came across a recipe for Ravioli using zucchini slices as the pasta. I used yellow squash. I made the filling with chick peas and sunflower seeds as oppose to making a nut "cheese" so it wasn't quite cheese-like. More hummus like. But I was out of nuts! I'm all about improve ;) even if it isn't exactly what I was I initially going for. I drizzled the RAWviolis with flax seed oil. The oil really helps make it seem like pasta.
After a hard day or art making all I want is pizza! Well, also maybe a glass of wine and some RAW chocolate cake too. Anyway, this is my second attempt at making RAW pizza. I cheated a bit though as I lightly heated my crust on the stove as oppose to dehydrating it. My first pizza was a bit salty. I think it was the tomato sauce. I need to work on the recipe but I made the crust from sprouted chick pea flour, arrowroot flour, celery salt, cumin, baking powder, water, apple cider vinegar, and oregano. I rolled it out thin on my silpat mat and heated stove top until the edges slightly curled and the crust got just a bit firm. Tomato sauce: I blended tomatoes, garlic, green onion, oregano, cumin, bragg, apple cider vinegar, cumin, cayenne. For the "cheese" I food processed soaked almonds, garlic, cumin, coconut vinegar, celery salt, a dash of dry keifer culture. I think that's it.
