- Raw Curry with Cauliflower “Rice”
(This is a guest post by Tanya Alekseeva, a raw food enthusiast and author of the food blog Better Raw. Our CEO Ed Drax joined one of her workshops recently and thought her recipes were delicious! Although our Wild Eating menu doesn’t follow strict raw food principles (it includes meat and cooked foods) we advocate eating as much raw food and veg as possible and have found that raw foodies offer some yummy veg-based recipes – for meat-eaters and ‘primate’ veggies alike!)
“I will never forget the time I tasted my first Indian Curry. It was only a few years ago and since that day, I’ve never stopped asking myself what took me this long. And I’ve never stopped tasting either! There are plenty of ‘not so good for you or your body’ ingredients that could go in a traditionally cooked Curry, but they are certainly not in the anti-aging, disease-fighting, immune-system-building Spices.
So when I became a Raw Vegan, my quest for the Healthiest Curry began. When this very dish was the most common request during my workshops and coaching, my quest for the Tastiest Curry began. I am now completely satisfied and super excited to share this recipe with you! What is even better than this most deliciously nutrient dense meal is that it is easy and fast!!”
Ingredients
1 Cauliflower
1 Carrot
1 Cup Cashews
2 Tomatoes
10 Sundried tomato halves, soaked in warm water 10 mins
½ Cup Dried Shredded Coconut
½ Avocado
½ Red Onion
1 inch ginger
1 Clove Garlic
2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tsp Cayenne Pepper
1 tsp Paprika
1 tsp Turmeric
1 tsp Cinnamon
Fresh Coriander to garnish
Water as needed
Optional: Walnuts, Flaked Almonds, Sprouts
Method
- Roughly chop carrots and cauliflower and transfer to a food processer. Pulse, until finely chopped and resembles rice.
- In a blender put 1 cup cashews and 1 cup water. Blend really well until creamy.
- Add all the remaining ingredients (apart from optional ingredients and coriander) and 1.5 cups water. Blend well.
- [Note, you may need to pulse to make it easier on your blender or add more water.]
- Serve with either walnuts, sprouts or flaked almonds on cauliflower ‘rice’. Garnish with fresh coriander.
Enjoy, Tanya Alekseeva
