Raw ‘Rice’ & Kelp Noodle Salad

Raw 'Rice' & Kelp Noodle Salad
Very easy recipe, if you don't have a food processor but want the cauliflower to be rice like, you could grate it. Nice thing is that the cauliflower actually becomes a bit juicy.
Prepared by:
Cuisine: vegan
Recipe type: main
Serves: 2
Prep time: 
Total time: 
You need
  • a handful of kelp noodles, cut up in length you prefer
  • about ¼ of a cauliflower
  • half an avocado
  • half an orange
  • a few tbsps of peanuts (the reddish things in the picture, they are raw and still have the skin on, but your normal peanuts are fine too)
  • a few tbsps of chopped red onion
  • a tomato
  • a small or half a medium carrot
  • a little bit of toasted sesame oil
  • coriander, as much as you like
  • mint, ditto
  • salt & pepper
  • olive oil
  • any spice or herb you like
  • anything else you like, I mean, it's a salad, add what you fancy.
To do
  1. whizz chunks of the cauliflower in the food processor, until fine (or grate). It then sort of resembles rice, hence 'raw rice salad'.
  2. chop up all the other ingredients
  3. mix the whole lot
  4. eat

Pineapple Ginger Pancake w Sweet Peanut Sauce, Coconut & Mint

 

I used a prefab pancake mix for this one (Orgran gluten free mix w apple & cinnamon, it is lovely). Apart from that you need:

♣   pineapple
♣   peanut butter
♣   molasses (or another fluid sweetener)
♣   dessicated coconut
♣   non-dairy milk
♣   citrus zest (lemon, orange, or both)
♣   mint
♣   coconut oil for cooking

To do:
– make your pancakes (I don’t need to explain, do I?)
– stir fry the pineapple cubes w the ginger & zest (or you can add them later, up to you)
– mix a few table spoons of peanut butter with some non dairy milk, and add as much sweetener as you like.
– sprinkle pancake with coconut, place pineapple on top, pour sauce on top and garnish with mint.

If you use a dry sweetener, just add more milk.

All done 🙂
