  • PORTABELLO PESTO PIZZO (Recipe 1 of 2)
    __________________________________________
     
    Here a delicious recipe from Raw Fusion Recipes

    This healthy twist on a classic dish will wow your guests; it never fails to become an instant favorite with guests at Dr. Lindajoy's raw foods demos. A little of this very rich, gourmet raw dish goes a long way. So one pizza will satisfy 4-6 people. Serve with a large green salad on the side.

    Crust

    1 cup pecans
    1 cup walnuts
    4-6 dates
    ½ cup fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, oregano)
    ½ tsp. Celtic sea salt
    ¼ cup olive oil
    Directions: In food processor, lightly process nuts. Add dates and salt. Pulse until batter becomes sticky. Add olive oil and herbs and process until well mixed. Press onto a large plate into a 10-inch or larger diameter pizza shape.

    Toppings

    Prep: Slice 2 Portobello mushrooms into small pieces and marinate for 1-2 hours in 2 TB. of nama shoyu or tamari. Dice and chop the following: tomatoes, spinach and/or arugula leaves, red/yellow pepper, and raw olives (optional).

    Nut Raw-Cotta Cheeze
    1 cup raw macadamias
    ½ cup pine nuts
    1 lemon, juiced
    ½ cup water
    Dash Celtic sea salt
    Optional: Italian herbs
    Prep: Soak nuts for 6 hours.

    Directions: In food processor or blender, pulse ingredients together--start with juice from ½ lemon and add more to taste. Blend until smooth, consistency can also be similar to ricotta cheese, if you prefer. Salt to taste.

    Pesto Sauce
    1 cup fresh basil
    ½ cup pine nuts
    ¼ cup olive oil
    1 lemon, juiced
    1-2 garlic cloves
    ½ tsp. Celtic sea salt, pressed

    Directions:  Blend well- add water as needed to create a thinner consistency for drizzling.

    Assembly

    Directions: Put a layer of "cheese" on top of the crust and the top with mushrooms, tomatoes and other veggies. Drizzle pesto over the top. Enjoy!

    __________________________________________

    Serves 1-2

    Here's another yummy recipe from Raw Fusion Recipes

    Ingredients:  
    1 cup baby spinach
    ½ cup arugula or dandelion leaves
    2 baby bok choy (or 2 cups regular bok choy)
    1 large portobello mushroom cap
    ½ cup mung bean sprouts
    2 TB. coconut oil
    1-2 tsp. toasted sesame oil
    1 clove garlic sliced or chopped
    1 tsp. fresh ginger, sliced thinly
    1 TB. tamari or nama shoyu
    ½ cup nuts or seeds (cashew, pine nuts, walnuts, sunflower seeds - whichever you refer!)
    2/3 cup snow peas (you can substitute with fresh or frozen English peas)
    2 green onions
    1-2 TB. sesame seeds

    Prep: Slice Portobello thinly and marinate in tamari/nama shoyu for 2-3 hours

    Optional:  ½ cup sliced water chestnuts, 2 TB. coconut aminos (these are sweeter- if you use Bragg's, which are salty, use only a small amount!)

    Put the spinach and arugula/dandelion leaves at bottom of deep salad or soup bowl.
    Chop bokchoy and green onion and set aside.  
    Wash and de-string snow peas and cut in half and put in separate bowl.  Boil 1 cup of water and pour over snow peas and temper for 1-2 minutes until bright green.  Drain, rinsing with cool water.  

    In a stainless steel or cast iron  frying pan heat coconut and sesame oils on moderate heat (do not allow to smoke)  Stir in garlic and ginger.  Stir fry bok choy, bean sprouts, green onions and nuts until thorough heated but not too hot.  Pour over greens in bowl and toss well, allowing the stir fried veggies to wilt the leaves.  Top with marinated Portobello slices, coconut aminos and sesame seeds and serve immediately.
