Raw Falafel (Curry)

After many requests, here it is: the raw falafel recipe:

It's a simple flax, sunflower seed mixture, 1:1, ground up completely and put into a bowl; I used a cup and a half of each. Mix in your dry spices; in this case I used: 1 1/2 Tbsp turmeric root powder, 1 tsp. whole cumin seeds, 2 tsp. paprika, 1 Tbsp. red pepper flakes, 1 tsp cayenne powder, 2 tsp. dry terragon leaves and 2 tsp ground mustard seed. After mixing those together I began to add my wet ingredients: 2 Tbsp. respectively Bragg's or Tamari (or Nama Shoyu for purism) and cold-pressed olive-oil and finally 1/2 C of water to make a solid batter-like consistancy. I pattied it out into falafels and put it in the dehydrator for 3 hours. Flipped them for another 3 hours.

Finally I spread the hummus recipe from below on top of them with another side of the same hummus, red, green and gold salad and cucumber and carrots.

Serves 4-5 easily! I was able to make 6 falafels out of the above ingredients.

Much Loves, and enjoy!

Raw Hummus Recipe (no zucchini!!!)

So here's the local favorite: Xam's raw hummus! It's all seed/nut based, check it out:

First you take 1 1/2C sunflower seeds and 1 1/2C cashews (1:1) and grind them up like so:

Then you throw them in the blender along with 2 Tbsp nama shoyu (or bragg's/tamari for the less expensive, non-raw version), 1 Tbsp Turmeric Root Powder, 1 tsp. Cayenne, 2 Tbsp. Nutritional Yeast (optional), 1 tsp. Terragon, 1 tsp cumin seeds, 1 clove garlic, 1 Tbsp. Cold-pressed Olive Oil, and about a cup and a half of water like so:

Add water until you achieve a smooth consistancy, be careful though - too much will make it more liquid than creamy. If you go overboard on the water, it's all right, it makes a fine salad dressing.

Your consistency should look like this when it's done:

And just to be cute and perfectionist like the Virgo Rising that I am, I put it in a little hummus container like this:

Enjoy with Carrots, Celery or on Kale wraps! Anything you can think of!

Raw Chocolate "Maple" Syrup

Here's the recipe for the raw chocolate "maple" syrup that I put on top of that yummilicious Xammin' Pancake.

Ingredients:
1 hass avocado or half of a large avocado
1/4 C Raw Cacao powder
1 Tbsp. Maca Root Powder
1 Tbsp. Cinnamon
1/4 C Raw Honey or Agave
1/2 C Water

Recipe: Mix all ingredients in the food processor until it becomes somewhat-pudding like and there's no chunks of avocado left. This should take about 4-5 minutes. Taste it and add more sweetener if necessary.

After I made this, I put it in a dispenser and dispensed it onto my Xammin' Pancake:

Then I smoothed out the "Maple" syrup and sprinkled cinnamon on top:

And then I cut it into 3 parts and served it to me and my roommates!!! Yum!!

Raw Xammin' Pancakes!

Ingredients:
1/2 C Dates (pitted)
1/2 C Raisins
1/2 C Walnuts
1/2 C Rolled Oats
2 Tbsp. Honey or Agave




Recipe: Throw the dates in the food processor and let it go until they're nice little balls/chunks. Then throw the raisins in there with them and go until the raisins lose their structure a little bit. Add the walnuts until they've broken down to little chunks then add the oats and go until it makes a fine looking batter as shown above. Add the honey to get a little more stickiness-factor in there and make a 1/2" thick patty the size of your pancake.

Comfortably serves 4
