Brazil Nut Pate


1 cup Brazil nuts
1 clove garlic
Sea salt to taste (1/4 teaspoon is good)
2 cm fresh ginger (optional)
Blend all ingredients in a high speed blender until smooth. Fabulous served on celery sticks, or rounds of fresh beet root. If you don’t have a high speed blender you can use a food processor, however you may need to add some extra water to make it move, and scrape down the sides regularly.

This one is supposed to be the best raw hummus:

Raw Hummus
Contributed by: Shayla Roop

1 c. chick pea sprouts (sprouted overnight)
Juice of 1 lemon or lime (I prefer lime)
2 T. fresh orange juice
1 clove garlic
2 T. raw tahini
Optional seasonings: ground cumin, spike or sea salt to taste, chives, paprika, cayenne pepper

Blend all of the ingredients. Add water to thin to desired consistency.

Very delicious spread on leafy greens or red bell pepper strips or even celery. Enjoy!
