Had a few questions about recipes.

Hi,

I wanted to get some advice on what sort of dishes I could make with these two items as main ingredients individually. Yams, I wanted to make a paste or pate out of this that could complement a salad or something it could be hearty or sweet, and Quinoa sprouts, is there a Tabouli recipe, that doesn't use wheat, that uses Quinoa as a main ingredient, or even a stufiing, as well as any other sprouted Quinoa heavy recipes. thanks.

Raw Sweet Potato Pie

"With the holidays approaching, I looked for a festive pie to grace my table and display at our Hallelujah Lifestyle meetings. It is always a great hit! Makes two 8-inch pies:

FILLING
3 medium sweet potatoes (peeled & cut into chunks)
6 pitted dates
1/3 cup organic honey
1/4 cup unsweetened coconut
3/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
2-3 ounces walnuts (ground)

Peel 3 medium sweet potatoes, cut into chunks, and run through a Champion, Green Power, Green Life, or Green Star juicer, along with the 6 pitted dates, using the blank instead of the screen. In a bowl, add to the pulped sweet potato/date mixture, the remaining filling ingredient (honey, coconut, nutmeg, lemon juice, cinnamon, walnuts) and mix well.

CRUST
1 pound pitted dates
1 cup almonds (ground)

Process dates and ground almonds in food processor using the S-blade until the mixture pulls away from the sides to form a ball. Press into pie plate with wet fingers to form a crust. Add filling and cover with topping.

TOPPING
2 ounces ground or chopped walnuts

Refrigerate. Enjoy!

Raw Sweet Potato Casserole Recipe #151259
Creamy, slightly sweet casserole topped with walnuts. Yes, it's made with raw sweet potato and the texture isn't exactly like your typical sweet potato casserole, but I love it! Tweaked the original recipe from Herbs for Health magazine, which called for dehydrating the nuts. Prep time does not include soaking the nuts overnight.
by yogi
6 servings
30 min 30 min prep
1 1/2 cups pecans or walnuts, soaked overnight, then drained (let dry a bit on a paper towel)
4 cups peeled and chopped sweet potatoes
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup dates, soaked for about 20 minutes
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla (this is not a raw product)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup honey

Put potatoes, 1/2 C nuts, dates, cinnamon and vanilla in processor and puree till smooth.
Pour into a casserole dish.
In another bowl, mix the remaining 1 C nuts with salt and honey, and sprinkle over the potato mixture.
I enjoyed this at room tempurature, but still good straight out of the frig.
