Hazelnut Romesco Sauce

Posted November 1, 2011 by Leslie Myers
This sauce originated in the Catalonian region of Spain. Classically Romesco sauce contains bread crumbs, but we figured that we would give it a more contemporary twist and make it gluten-free. We love its thick, silky texture, the smoky flavors from the peppers and onions and the vibrancy from the sherry vinegar. If you can’t find pimenton; substitute smoked paprika. We have been enjoying this on roasted brussel sprouts.

Tacos with Quinoa and Spiced Walnut Meat

Posted September 12, 2011 by Leslie Myers
These Raw Tacos are GREAT! Even non-raw foodies LOVE them. Make a batch or two of the taco meat and keep it on hand to enjoy over a salad or straight out of the jar! For a crowd or informal buffet dinner, set out taco meat, wrappers and bowls of assorted salsas, guacamole, cashew cream and vegetables and have your own fiesta

Zucchini Ribbon, Sweet Cherry Tomato, Feta and Pinenut Salad

Posted September 12, 2011 by Leslie Myers
Saver the end of summer by enjoying this salad. Use smallish zucchini and shave ribbons off of them; rotating every third cut or so. Do not add olive oil, lemon or salt until just before serving as they will break down zucchini. I like to use the sweet “Sun Gold” Tomatoes

Mushroom and Barley Sliders

Posted May 25, 2011 by Leslie Myers
The addition of nutritional yeast, which can be found in the bulk bins at specialty or health food stores adds not only flavor, but that elusive Vitamin B12 to these yummy Vegan burgers. We used green onions, cumin and thyme leaves for seasonings; however, you could substitute grated red or yellow onion and any spices and/or herbs for a twist. The key ingredient to the burgers is the ground flax seeds,which give the patties an Omega 3 blast and keeps them from falling apart. Enjoy with our baked sweet potato fries and agave sweetened ketchup. You can also make larger patties‐just add a minute of cooking time per side for each inch they grow in size.
