RAWsome snacks

By: mine, baby
Category: Raw Foods
This recipe is suitable for a: vegetarian/vegan/raw diet.

Ingredients:
-----------------------------------------------------
All ingredients should be RAW and organic.

NUTS:
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1 cup pecans
1 cup pistachios
1/2 cup cashews
1/2 cup organic tomato juice

PRODUCE:
7 stems parsley
2 carrots
2 stalks celery
1/3 onion
1/2 bell pepper
1 clove fresh garlic
Optional: handful (about 14 leaves) baby spinach

HERBS:
(These are dried not irradiated, but you can use the fresh equivalent too.)
1 Tbsp. basil
1/4 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. tarragon
1 tsp. sea salt
1 tsp. fresh cracked black pepper


Instructions:
-----------------------------------------------------
Directions: Place all nuts in a glass bowl, add organic tomato juice and stir. Let soak 2-4 hours. Combine all ingredients in food processor, stopping to stir midway through. Blending is easier if you start with the produce, add herbs, then nuts last - Do not drain nuts.

Make patties, or bars out of combined mixture. Make them as thin as you can (rolling pin optional.) Place in food dehydrator and dry for 12-24 hours (or until dry.) Turn patties after 6 hours.

If you do not have a food dehydrator, preheat oven on lowest setting (mine was 170 degrees) and dry for 5-6 hours. Patty up the mixture, and place it on a cookie sheets lined with paper towel (or an opened paper grocery bag works great). This helps them dry and not stick. Turn them over after 2 or 3 hours. If you like your bars really crisp (like Paula) it would be good to check them near the end and see if they need more time.

Enjoy!
