Woo hoo! Eating as a raw foodist is fun! I do miss warm foods but I still have my hot organic decaf green tea that I drink in the mornings so it’s all good.

Today I made raw chili! I took the recipe from Matt Amsden’s book, ‘RAWvolution‘.

I followed it almost exactly. I added more tomato, 1/2 green pepper, a jalepeno (seeded) and cayenne pepper. I did not use sprouted lentils however. I’m still getting my sprouting technique down. I need to invest in a sprouting cap and jar.

It’s an easy recipe, you just throw all the ingredients in a food processor or a high speed blender and hit go!

Once plated I added some chopped green onions and more cayenne.

Delicous!

2 cups blended tomato (4 medium tomatoes)
1/2 cucumber (peeled)
2 stalks celery
1/2 red and green bell peppers (seeded)
Some mint and basil leaves
1/2 cup whole leaf dulse
3 garlic cloves (peeled)
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup raw olive oil
1/4 cup Nama Shoyu (organic raw soy sauce)

Cut the veggies into pieces to assit your blender or food processor in it’s chopping glory.
