Dinner-Time with FaylinaMeir! 07/14/2012

So this video is FAR too long to recap everything said, however if you know your basic way around a kitchen you will not need the step by step instructions. If you do I would suggest watching the video. If you have any questions you can always ask me in a comment or on facebook.

Ingredients: (3 servings)

6 cups cooked quinoa
3 medium-large baked potatoes
15 ounces snap peas or stringless peas
1 pound brocooli
1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic
1/2 inch piece of minced ginger (about 1 tablespoon)
1/2 tablespoon grapeseed oil
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1 1/2 tablespoons sesame seeds
2 bunches or about 5 ounces green spring (welsh) onions
ultra low sodium soy sauce about 1-2 tablespoons
about 3 tablespoons water
chili sauce or ketchup (or anything else) as seasoning

you will also need a heat resistent spatula and a wok
knife
cutting board

Directions:

Prep your brocolli by cutting the tips of the flourets off. Thinly slice the remaining stocks, they’re good food too! If your peas have strings you will need to string them. I buy the stringless versions but I still take the papery white bits off the ends. You will want to thinly slice your green onions. Slice your prebaked potatoes in smaller sized (bite-sized) pieces. Mince your garlic and ginger finely. If using preminced, make sure to wash well under warm/hot water to remove chemicals.

In a wok add your half tablespoon grapeseed oil, spread it around the pan. Turn the heat on high and add a small piece of brocolli into the pan. When it starts to sizzle you know its hot. Also now is a great time to add 1 1/2 tablespoons of sesame seeds, if using. When the seeds start to pop or the brocolli starts to sizzle, add the rest of your brocolli. Stir well to coat with oil. Then add your peas in. Stir fry this for 3 minutes. Then add your water, one tablespoon at a time while stiring. This helps to steam and cook through the vegetables, giving them better texture. At this point you’ll notice just how green they get, very pretty right?

After all the water is in , add your garlic and ginger as-well-as your green onions. Stir well and continue to stir fry for 5 or so minutes. At this point taste your brocolli for texture. If it is soft enough, add your soy sauce and sesame oil. Stir fry 1-2 more minutes and turn off the heat. Stir in gently your potato slices.

To serve this, place your quinoa on a plate and top with the vegetable potato mixture. Put on chili sauce or ketchup or any other desired sauce and enjoy! This ended up making 3 servings. Here is the nutritional information:

Raw Almondy Oat Bread

Hi Guys, Today I’m here with another recipe, today we’re making Raw Oat Bread.
Depending on your belief of oats it could be considered gluten-free, and depending on which ingredients you use, it can easily be vegan. One thing I can tell you is that its raw, budget friendly, and super tasty! This is also really simple, and compared to normal bread it’s extremely quick!

Ingredients:

4 soaked cups of oat groats (2 dry cups)
1 soaked cup of almonds (1/2 dry cup)
1/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt
1/2 tablespoon honey (or another liquid sweetener)
1/2 tablespoon sesame seed (optional, you could also use sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, any other seed or nut you want)
1 tablespoon psyllium husk (you could also use irish moss, flax seeds, or any other thickener)
1/4-1/2 cup water or nut/seed milk * (as needed)
coconut oil (optional for spreading stage)
——————-

Take your oat groats, almonds, sea salt, sweetener, sesame (or other seed/nut), and psyllium hus, into your food processor. Process for about 1 minute, or until it starts to mush up. If your mixture needs more moisture, add in your nut milk(or water) while the food processor is running. I ended up using about 1/4 cup of almond milk, however this will vary for everyone.
Keep processing until it turns into almond pudding, and will hold onto a spoon for several seconds one tipped over (see video).

Spread out on your dehydrator’s nonstick sheets, I went with about 1/4 inch thick, but if you want really thick bread, I would go with 1/2 inch. You can use a spoon but I find using your hands with some coconut oil or olive oil on it really works best. Try to make the “dough” as even as possible to assist with drying. I got 2 full trays out of my mixture.

Dehydrate @ 105 degrees for 12-18 hours. After about 2-3 hours you’ll want to flip your bread sheet over to dry evenly. My bread was done after 14 hours (when I woke up the next day). It was about half the original thickness, and still semi soft but you can tell its dry.  I would still probably store them in the fridge if you’re wanting to save them longer than a few days.

Cut them with a semi sharp knife into equal “sandwich” sized pieces. I ended up with 12 pieces, but accidently broke two of them. I can’t wait to make a nice raw sandwich tomorrow!

Prep time: 5 mins    Dry time: 12-18 hours    Serves: 6-12 pieces (varied on size)

If you wanted to, you could add cinnamon, extra sweetener, raisins, maybe some nutmeg and make this into a great cinnamon raisin bread. I will eventually demo this aswell.
Heres what my finished “bread” looked like :
