INSTANT ALMOND GRAVY

I am all about raw live foods that are quick and easy to whip up in a pinch. Keep these simple ingredients as your "Emergency Arsenal" for after work or entertaining to dress your salads quickly and easily or to pour on top of pates or a sweet potato or veggie burger. It is so easy with only 3 ingredients but yet so yummy. All you need is

1/4 cup raw tahini

1/4 cup raw almond butter

1-2 tablespoon of braggs amino acids or namo shoyu.

In a bowl blend ingredients with just enough water to create a creamy consistency. Add the Braggs at the end.

Variation One: Add a dash of cayenne, a pinch of CHinese 5 spice powder, a squeeze of juice or ginger to taste

Variation two: Add 2 tablespoons white or yellow miso and 1 tablespoon raw local honey

Variation three:Add Juice of one lemon and one tablespoon miso ( chickpea based)

Like I said its super easy but a great thing to be able to whip up when you are pressed for time and craving some flavor.

NOT-MAYO RAW SPREAD

Since going 100% Raw recently I have been looking for some new dips, spreads and sauces to jazz up my veggies, The one thing I was lacking was a good mayo-like dressing. Here is my latest recipe:
This is an excellent substitute for that cholesterol-laden, fattening, egg-based, vinegar and sugar filled store bought brands. For a healthier version use almonds instead of cashews, but blanch and take skins off to make it creamier.

1 cup cashews, soaked 8 hours in 1/2 cup filtered water

1 lemon, peeled, seeded and chopped

3 Tablespoons chopped onion

3 Tablespoons chopped red pepper

1 clove garlic

1 Tablespoon flaxseed oil

1 Tablespoon fresh oregano

2 teaspoons dulse flakes

2 teaspoons liquid aminos

1/2 teaspoon paprika

pinch ground cumin

pinch of curry


After soaking nuts, combine cashews with water and blend until smooth. Add lemon, onion, red pepper, garlic, oil, oregano dulse, liquid aminos, paprika, cumin and curry. Blend. Use water if necessary to achieve desires consistency. Yields 1.5 cups dressing. It is YUMMMY and I have been using it to dip raw veggies in, on my avocado and sprout sandwiches and on everything.
