Raw Seed Bread

This seed bread is super quick and easy to prepare and it is way more delicious than any bread I’ve tasted. Since it is made with seeds, it doesn’t fit into the category of eat all you want, but rather the category of eat as an occasional treat, as it is high in fat.

Ingredients:

2 cups of sunflower seeds
1 cup of sundried tomatoes
1-2 limes squeezed

Place all the ingredients in a food processor and process until a dough is formed. If the mixture is not sticky enough, add more sundried tomatoes (if it is too moist, add more seeds).

Using your hands, flatten chunks of dough into a bread shape, or use a cookie cutter to shape it.

You can eat the seed bread right away if you want, but for best results, refrigerate for at least an hour as it will set further and become closer to the consistency of toast.

Serve with avocado, tomato, lettuce and a slice of ginger.

Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchini, thinly sliced into “noodles” (approximately 4 cups)
  • Pesto sauce:
  • 2 cups fresh basil, firmly packed
  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoon pine nuts
  • 1 medium/large clove garlic
  • 2 tablespoons fresh-squeezed lemon juice
  • ¾ teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast*, optional
  • 1 teaspoon nutritional yeast*, optional
  • Garnish:
  • 12 cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • 8 Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
  • 4 teaspoons pine nuts, optional

Directions

  1. To make the “noodles,” cut the zucchini into ¼-inch-thick slices, and then lay each slice on its side and cut into ¼-inch thick julienne strips. Place in a mixing bowl. Alternatively, use a mandoline on the small julienne setting.
  2. To make the pesto, in a blender or food processor, combine the basil, olive oil, pine nuts, garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, nutritional yeast (if using) and jalapeño (if using) and blend until smooth. Be careful not to over blend. Depending upon the strength of the blender motor, you may need to add a little more olive oil to process smoothly.
  3. Add the pesto to the zucchini “noodles” and toss gently but thoroughly. Let sit for 10 minutes so the zucchini softens.
  4. To serve, divide the mixture into four bowls and top each serving with 6 cherry tomato quarters, 2 olive halves and 1 teaspoon of pine nuts, if desired.

*Nutritional yeast is a pure strain of yeast that adds a cheesy and nutty flavor to vegan dishes. It’s also a source of protein, providing essential amino acids and B-vitamins. (The fortified Red Star brand contains vitamin B-12.) It’s available in the condiment section and/or the bulk section of natural foods stores. Stored in a cool dry place or the refrigerator or freezer, it will last for months.

**Wear rubber gloves when handling chile peppers and be careful not to rub your eyes.
