Curry Noodles




This is not my recipe, but one that looks totally delicious and I really want to try it!
It is 100% raw and 100% vegan, but I'm sure it's bound to taste better than cooked food and I think it's just going to be like an amazing 'party in your mouth.'
This recipe was made by Kristina Carrillo-Bucaram who is popularly known as "FullyRaw Kristina" and well....it was from finding her online that I learnt about the raw vegan lifestyle, decided to detox by going raw vegan and changed my lifestyle (still vegetarian, but I eat 4-6 times a day with 1-3 of the meals being raw vegan and 3 being cooked (vegan or vegetarian)). She is such an awesome and happy person!

1-2 cups of orange/red cherry tomatoes
2 Tbps to half a cup of raw, unhulled sesame seeds
Fresh herbs of basil, sage, and rosemary
1 Tbps of tumeric

A pinch of cumin


Directions:

Spiralise your or Julienne peel your zucchinis to make the noodles.

Next, blend the rest of the ingredients together in a high speed blender (e.g a Vitamix) until completely smooth and creamy.

Pour the "sauce" the noodles and mix well. 

Bon appétit! :)

Raw Courgette/Zucchini Dish

Picture gotten from EricadHouse

Hey!

I know it's been forever since I last put up a recipe on here. So sorry. :(
The recipe I am putting up today is a raw vegan one. Raw vegan. Random, right? Well....I'm on a 14 days raw vegan detox and for 6 days now, I've been eating as a raw vegan. I've learnt a couple of things since I started this detox and come up with the most delicious meals. Here's one of them that I've had twice in the past 3 or so days now.

Ingredients
1 courgette (known as 'zucchini' in the States)
1 medium sized tomato
1/3 of a red/purple onion
1/3 of a yellow bell pepper

Method

  • Using a peeler (one similar to a Julienne Peeler), shred up a courgette making sure not to shred up or put the seeds/the core in the bowl you are shredding into. You may choose to peel the skin off of the courgette first, but I've only done that once and I actually kinda like the skin on for this dish.
  • Add some water to the bowl containing the courgettes (enough to cover the courgettes) and leave the courgettes in for about 20-30 seconds before draining out the water thoroughly.
  • Dice up the tomato and mix it in with the courgettes
  • Dice up the onion and bell pepper and mix it in with the courgettes too.
  • Leave the courgette dish to sit and "marinate" for a minute or two (maybe 3) and then eat it. It tastes amazing.
Bon appétit! :)
