Finally...another post! Sorry I know its been a long time, we've been busy. Midterms can do that to you very easily. But we had some more time this weekend and after a long day of studying at a coffee shop we prepared a lovely raw meal! Bianca has been wanting to try Juliano's raw Mac Cream recipe since we got the book over a month ago. We decided to serve the cream over kelp noodles with sun-dried tomatoes and balsamic mushrooms. It turned out delicious! If you haven't had kelp noodles before they're certainly a different consistency, kinda crunchy but you get used to it and there really rather good. I'm sure you can find them at any health foods store, we bought them here at our local coop in Isla Vista. The raw Mac Cream and balsamic mushrooms are very simple and I've posted the recipes below for your viewing! Enjoy and please try!
Mac Cream
from Julianno's Raw Cookbook
1 C raw macadamia nuts
1 C raw cashews
1/2 C lemon juice
1 1/2 t sea salt
1 T garlic
1/2 t peppercorns
Blend in a Vita-Mix. The consistency starts out very think, we added a lot of water to thin in out and get it really creamy.
Balsamic Mushrooms
handful of mushrooms, sliced
1 T balsamic vinegar, toss with mushrooms, add more if needed to coat them lightly
1/2 T all-purpose seasoning, again enough to cover them all
Place on dehydrater tray and dehydrate for about 2 hours on 105 degrees.
To serve toss the Mac Cream well with a serving of kelp noodles, throw in some of the balsamic mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes and enjoy with a fork and knife! You'll need it to cut the noodles :)
