Avo Gazpacho and Thai Veggies - Raw!

Here's some more recipes that I found on my old journal:

Avo Gazpacho

Veggies w/ Thai seed paste


First, what I did was grate some of the carrots(3) and a nice fat cucumber. I squeezed the juice out and put it aside.

Avo Gazpacho
In the food processor, I put together:
A nice huge handful of parsley
An avocado
Roughly a cup of soaked sun-dried tomatoes(with soak water, maybe two cups?)
Five dried, soaked shiitake mushrooms, with soak water(probably altogether about 1 1/2 cup)
3 green onions
Juice of half lemon
Splash of Bragg's apple cider vinegar
Squirt of Bragg's
The strained water from the carrot/cucumber
A nice healthy shake of kelp powder (about 1 heap Tb)

once it's all smooth, I just put it into a bowl and added a bit more water to thin it out, and salt to taste.

Thai veggies!

Took out the bowl with the carrots/cucumber..
added:
1 red pepper, diced
1 large beet, shredded (used the mandolin for very fine shred)
THEN!

In the food processor:
1/4 cup soaked"wild jungle peanuts*"
Small handful unsoaked "WJP*"
3/4 cup soaked pumpkin seeds
2 heap Tb (roughly) raw coconut butter
1 VERY heap Tb tahini
1'' of fresh ginger, chopped
Juice of half lemon
Handful of fresh thai basil/cinnamon basil from my plants outside
2 cubes frozen basil (from TJ's, about 2Tb)
splash Bragg's ACV
kelp
little salt

Processed with a bit of water to thin, and poured over the veg, mixed. Yum!


*"Wild Jungle Peanuts" I've found recently. They're the first ancient peanut, grown in Ecuador. All commercial peanuts have some amount of a mold called "aflatoxin", but WJP got tested, and has absolutely NO aflatoxin! Finally, good, organic raw peanuts. Yay!
They're from http://www.elfwholesale.com (currently out of stock, but they'll get 'em in soon, J says. He works there)



Enjoy! :D
