I love to make these for a gathering, everybody likes them, and most don't even notice that I an feeding them SPROUTED TOFU!

You can alway substitute the tofu for another healthy protein, once you make it, it's YOUR recipe.

Here's what I use;

Salad Roll Recipe

1/2 block of sprouted Wild Wood Tofu
1 Portabella
1 Red Pepper
​1 Avocado
3-4 large radishes
2 cups Spinach
1 cup Cilantro
small bunch of chives
1" cube of grated ginger
2 tbsp tumeric
2 tbsp tamari (soya/ Braggs)
1/2 pack of thin rice noodles
​1 /2 pack of Rice Paper Sheets


Spicy Peanut Sauce

​1/2 cup PB
1/4-1/2 Filtered Water (Depending on how thick you like it)
2 Lemons juiced
1tsp Paprika
1tsp Maple Syrup
​1/2 tsp Tamari


(Other great options that I just didn't have in my fridge are; shredded carrot, bean sprouts, and arugula.)

Sautee the tofu in 1-2 tbsp olive, sesame, peanut oil, add the tumeric,  tamari, and ginger while cooking on just below medium. Sautee until the tofu has a crispy outside, then remove from heat.

Boil the Rice noodles for 1-2 mins, drain, and set aside.

Wash, cut and prep all veggies in long strips, ready to roll.

Once everything has been prepped and laid out you're ready to roll.

heat a sauce wide sauce pan that will fit the rice paper sheets flat to low. 
Slip 1 sheet in at a time and let it soak for 30 second until just soft. Gently pick it up and let it drip most of it's water off above the pan then place it on your rolling surface. I like to use my wooden cutting board. 

​
In each wrap place a small amount of each veggies and 1 strip of tofu in first, then apx a golf ball size amount of the cooked rice noodles. Fold the ends in first, carefully fold over the end closest to you and roll like you would a burrito. 

This recipe makes 12-14 wraps

Note; If you find you are breaking a lot, try and soften the wraps the least amount possible, and for and easier time rolling, place the noodles down before the veg, it isn't as pretty when you're done but they will more likely be in 1 piece. 

Now onto the easiest amazing peanut sauce ever!

In a blender ( I just use a magic bullet) I put all of the ingredients listed above for the peanut sauce, blend  for 30 seconds, and serve. 

Note; Start with the recommended 1/4 cup of filtered water then add more, I like mine on the thinner side so I will add the full half cup. Experiment, make it your own.

All told they do take about an hour to prepare and make, but it's fun, people love them, and if I'm just making them for our house, there are tons of leftovers for easy snacks and lunches!

Red lentil Soup

Recipe

2 1/2 cups organic red lentils soaked and rinsed
1/4 of a head of green cabbage
2-3 carrots cubed
1/2 med yellow onion finely chopped
2 cups of kale/spinach
4 cloves minced
3 tbsp turmeric
3 tbsp curry
sea salt and black pepper to taste

Everything in the pot with 3.5 litres of filtered water, bring everything to a boil for 1 min, turn down and simmer for 20-25 mins until the lentils are soft. 
​
The soup becomes quite thick and I have a hard time deciding if it is more of a stew or soup at that water ratio. I enjoy adding another litre during the cooking process to make it more of a liquidy, veggie filled, yummy, warming, hydrating soup. 

I also enjoy to top with tamari a fermented salty goodness that pairs well with most anything requiring salt. 

There is also no added fats in the recipe and lentils are naturally low, I might suggest that a healthy be portioned into the bowl if wanting to balance your fats through the day, It will keep you satisfied for longer, and is an essential part of the diet. 


In the last blog posting I mentioned the amazing health benefits of Lentils but I just need to repeat them here; They are a powerhouse of nutrition. They are a good source of potassium, calcium, zinc, niacin and vitamin K, but are particularly rich in dietary fiber, lean protein, that we discussed, folate and iron. studies show they can help stabilize blood sugars, and aid in weight loss. They are associated with lower cholesterol, and help with constipation. 

They have a lower soaking threshold than other beans and legumes that make them easy to prepare, but with any grain, bean, legume, or pulse, I always recommend a good soak. follow this link for more information on why soaking is so important.

Vegan Veg Burgers

Gearing up for Veg Week that usually coincides with Earth Day, April 22, 2016 , I thought I should add some more awesome recipes to inspire!

I usually look to what I already have in the fridge/cupboards when I'm planning my meals. Really wanting a good avocado type burger I had the perfect avocado ready to go, but I still needed some kind of burger.... and bun.

The patty came together so nicely that I had to share this delicious, easy recipe with you. 

Vegan Patty; (Gluten Free)

1 cup shredded carrots
1 cup sunflower seeds
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup rolled oats ground to flour
1/4 onion diced
3 cloves garlic
5 tbsp flax seeds
sea salt and pepper

Add 1 1/2 cups of filtered water, mix well (the consistency will be quite sloppy and wet at this point) set in the fridge for 1 hr. 

Press mixture into balls in your hands then press into 3/4 of an inch tall patties on the baking sheet. 

Bake for 45 mins at 350.

Top with your favorite burger toppings and enjoy!

Some of my favorite toppings are hummus and avocado, sprouts, and mustard! Yumm. 

I made a quick and easy Spelt olive loaf ( not so GF) as the bun and have leftovers for avocado toast tomorrow morning.

I'll be posting that recipe shortl
y.  

For now, enjoy!
