1 fennel bulb 1/2 head green cabbage 1 apple 2-3 scallions 2-3 tablespoon fresh dill (use less if dried) 1/2 tablespoon corriander 1 tablespoon olive oil juice of half a lemon salt to taste Slice the figs, fennel, cabbage, apple and scallions and place in a bowl (slice any way you prefer, I usually do match-sticks or small cubes). Add the lemon, oil, corriander, dill, and salt, as well as some fronds from the fennel bulb. Combine and let chill for about an hour in fridge to allow flavors to meld. *If you want it a little more sweet, it tastes delish with a squirt or two of agave nectar! 1 cup walnuts (soaked for about an hour)
1/4 cup onion 1/4 cup sun-dried tomato handful of cilantro equal parts cumin, oregano, garlic powder (or fresh garlic) cayenne to taste dash of extra virgin olive oil Tablespoon tamari (for gluten-free), otherwise you can use soy sauce or namo shoyu for 'true' raw Blend it all up in a food processor and enjoy!

Chop soaked wakame. Place water and wakame in a soup pot and bring to a boil. Add vegetables and simmer for 2-3 minutes (simmer an extra few minute if using carrots) Remove about 1/2 cup of liquid from pot and dissolve miso into it. Return it to the pot. Reduce heat to very low; do not boil or simmer miso broth. Allow soup to cook 2-3 minutes. Garnish with scallions and serve. - If using dry shiitake mushrooms, let them soak for 20 minutes, slice and add at the beginning. What you will need: -Sliced Veggies of your choice (I used cucumbers, carrots, cabbage, avocado and romaine) -Rice Paper Wraps Once the veggies are sliced into 'matchsticks'. soak the wrapper in warm water for about 20 seconds to soften. Them lay it flat, fill it up with the veggies, and roll it up tightly. (I found that some rolls came out messier than others, so I 'double wrapped' when needed!) I had some nori paper on hand, so I wrapped up a few in this as well!
I dipped these in my 'Oh So Easy Peanut Sauce' and that really made the dish! |
