Roshi's Thank You Very Muchrooms (http://roshis.com/thank-you-very-muchrooms)


Its getting to be that time of year again. The time when family comes together, smiles are exchanged, and food is shared (my favorite part). I have to admit, though, that Thanksgiving food is in my list of Top 10 meals of the year, and its the day I’m most likely to have non-raw food. Something about mashed potatoes and gravy (vegetarian, of course), makes me giddy like a raw-foodist with a plate full of mango. Still, I’d like to offer all of you this dish to try. If you’re as much of a fan of stuffing and mushrooms as I am, you’re sure to love this one. I tried to fit all those wonderful Thanksgiving flavors in, so whoever you make it for it sure to show plenty of gratitude. Hope you like it!

Ingredients:

*3/4 cup almond pulp - squeezed dry
*2 tablespoons olive oil
*1 large date
*5 long sprigs rosemary, chopped
*1 tablespoon dried parsely
*1/2 teaspoon salt
*1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
*1/2 apple, grated
*1/2 pomegranate, peeled

*8 button mushrooms
Preparation:

Well the directions for this one are just too short, so I have to write a little extra so it looks more substantial. I hope you’re ready for this. Gather ingredients. Chop and grate as instructed above. Mix everything besides pomegranate first, then add pomegranate. For a little extra fruity flavor, pop some pomegranate seeds into the mix. Finally, put the stuffing in mushrooms. Serve!!!

My daughter just sent this to me:

Raw Cranberry Relish

Submitted by JennWangerin on November 8, 2008

Servings:
let's say 4-8

Description:

A delicious cranberry satsuma relish, sweetened with dates. And it's raw!

Ingredients:

12 oz fresh cranberries
4 Satsuma oranges, with peel on (scrub them clean!)
2" piece ginger, peeled
3/4 cup pitted dates
pinch of salt

Directions:

Using a food processor, pulse together ginger, oranges, and dates until an even consistency is reached. Add cranberries and pulse until combined. Season with salt. Serve as a side dish, perhaps at Thanksgiving!

I'm making a similar relish, but with pomegranates.

Seeds of two pomegranates
1 T orange zest
1 T orange juice
1 tsp fresh grated ginger
1 T honey (or agave)
pinch of sea salt

Gently mix together, cover and refrigerate. Make in advance to save time.

Can you tell me how many cups a 1/2 lb of almonds and a 1/2 lb of cashews would be? I'm trying to make the Barfi but I don't have a scale and I know that since it's in weight I can't very well estimate by the cup. Can someone weigh some out and then measure them? Please? Thanks!!

Raene,

The almonds seem to be about 1 1/2 cups. I would measure out that amount and then throw in another 10-12 almonds or so. I didn't have any cashews to measure sorry

Thank you!!!
