Very Veggie Barley Burgers

Serves 6-8

These hearty burgers have a great meat-like texture. Barley is higher in protein than rice or other grains, and is a great source of fiber. Try different
seasonings to give these burgers the flavor you like.

2 cups steamed pearled barley (cook as you do rice)
1 cup veggie broth (organic preferably)
1/3 cup flax seeds, ground
1 cup any raw shelled nuts: almonds, pine nuts, walnuts, pecans, macadamias, or sunflower seeds
2 zucchini, chopped (or shredded in food processor)
3 onions, peeled and chopped (or shredded in food processor)
2 tomatoes, chopped (or shredded in food processor)
4 carrots, peeled and chopped (or shredded in food processor)
2 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped (or shredded in food processor)
2 cups sprouted wheat tortilla crumbs (dry and grind in blender or food processor into flour)
2 Tbs. dried herbs of your choice
1 tsp. whole unprocessed mineral salt or sea salt, (add desired amount)

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Stir together the barley, veggie broth, and ground flax seeds in a bowl. Combing with the remaining ingredients; mix well. Divide the mixture into even portions, form into patties, and arrange on an oiled (grape seed oil or avocado oil) cookie sheet. Bake until golden brown, approximately 15 minutes on each side. Serve hot, or cool and crumble over a salad.

Sprouted Cereal

2 cups wheat or rye grains (organic; unstored)
1/2-1 tsp cinnamon

Soak the grain overnight in distilled water. Drain and set the jar on its side to sprout. Rinse the sprouts morning and evening, and let them sprout for 2 days.

Add enough water to the sprouts to blend in a blender. Pour into a saucepan and cook until toasty and warm. May be served in a bowl with almond, soy or coconut milk.

Blackened Herbed Fillets

Serves 4-6

This is a somewhat spicy coating that could be used for red snapper, trout, salmon, or even extra-firm tofu that has been sliced thin (1/4 to 1/3 inch). You can double or triple this recipe, to add a heavier coating on the fillets.

3 Tbs. paprika
2 1/2 tsp. dried onions
1/2 tsp. Zip (spice hunter) or cayenne pepper (start with 1/4 tsp, you can always add more)
1 1/2 tsp. dried thyme
1 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
1 1/2 tsp. dried basil
3/4 ground cumin
1 tsp Real Salt (mineral salt)
1/2 cup grape seed oil (organic cold pressed)
4-6 fresh fish or tofu fillets (4-6 oz)
1/4 cup mint leaves (fresh), minced for garnish
Lemon and lime wedges

Combine all the dry seasonings except the mint in a shallow bowl and mix well. Put the oil into another shallow bowl. Set the bowls side by side. Heat an electric fry pan or large skillet-type pan on a burner over high heat. Dip the fillets in the oil and coat well, then dip into the her mixture and coat both sides. Cook in the hot pan on one side until the herbs turn dark but not burned (1 to 3) minutes, then flip over and cook on the other side.

Sprinkle minced mint on top of the fillets and garnish with lemon and lime wedges before serving.

Note: To cook fish more thoroughly, I sometimes fry it first, over medium heat for a while until it’s cooked thorough. Then I dip it in the oil and coat and fry on the outside for a crispier finish.

Tofu Salad Spread

3/4 cup chopped green onion
1 cup finely chopped celery

Tofu Patties

Meanwhile, steam the broccoli for 10 to 15 minutes, then rinse in cold water to avoid overcooking. Chop the sun-dried tomatoes with some oil from the jar in a food processor, using the S-blade, until it forms a chunky paste. Cut the roasted brussels sprouts and steamed broccoli into smaller bite size pieces, if desired, and stir together with 1 to 2 Tbs. of the sun-dried tomato paste, the hemp and olive oils, the unprocessed Real salt or mineral salt, and the pine nuts.

Doc Broc Casserole

Serves 6

This is a great casserole guaranteed to fool your kids into thinking they are eating hamburger. Little kids and big kids alike love the herbed potato chips sprinkled on top.

1 small bunch fresh basil or fresh tarragon, stemmed and minced
Whole pure salts and pepper, to taste (could use Spice Hunter’s Zip)
2/3 cup olive oil
1 Pkg Lightlife Smart Ground (a soy protein substitute that resembles ground beef)
1 Pkg Terra Red Bliss Potato Chips (choose what flavor you like)

Steam the broccoli with a little water in a covered pan for about 4 to 5 minutes, until its bright green and just crisp-tender.

Mince the broccoli leaves and peeled stalks in a food processor until very fine (scrape the sides if necessary).

Add the soft tofu, mustard, basil or tarragon, salt, and pepper into the food processor with the fine broccoli mixture and process. While the machine is running, slowly add the olive oil until well emulsified and let the processor run until the mix is creamy and mixed well.
In a large electric fry pan, heat a small amount of oil, add the Smart Ground, crumble it up, and fry it for a couple of minutes, then add the steamed broccoli and pour the sauce (from the food processor) over the top.

Spread a thin layer of rice over each nori sheet, leaving about a 1/3 inch nori border at the end. Arrange the marinated vegetables on the sheets, top them with a lot of sprouts, and roll them up (you can use a sushi mat for this). Let them sit until they will hold their form and cut into bite-size pieces with a sharp knife.

Rawsome Redford Pizza

Serves 6

This 100 percent raw pizza is wonderfully filled and packed with calcium, magnesium, lycopene, protein, vitamins, and minerals, and replaces an acidic meal with an alkaline one.

Crust

You can use an Excalibur dehydrator to make perfect crust.

1/2 cup ground flax seeds
Water to cover ground flax seeds, approximately 1 cup
1 cup soaked raw almonds
2 cups soaked raw sunflower seeds
1 cup raw ground buckwheat
1/2 cup ground Deluxe Vegetable Blend
Juice of 1 lemon
1 clove garlic
1/4 cup olive oil
1 Tbs whole pure salt (or to taste)
2 Tbs Italian Seasoning
1 Tbs Spice Hunter Garlic Herb Bread Seasoning
1/4-1/2 cup water

Grind the flax seeds into powder and place in a bowl with enough water to cover. Stir the ground flax seeds into the water and set aside to thicken. Rinse and drain the soaked seeds ( soak for 15 to 20 minutes) and nuts and add them to you food processor with all the remaining ingredients. Mix well until you have a smooth, thick paste consistency. You may have to stop and stir a few times to get this mix well blended. Adjust with water at the end until the dough has a good consistency and can be rolled out with a rolling pin or pressed in a tortilla press between tow pieces of thick plastic. (I use the plastic bags that my Jaffe products come packed in). Make pizza crust rounds the desired size. I usually do 5 to 7 inches across, for individual pizzas. Once you get them pressed between your plastic sheets, carefully peel off the top plastic layer to expose the top side of the crust, then flip it over onto the dehydrator sheet and carefully peel off the remaining plastic sheet. (For the dehydrator, you can use a Teflex sheet, but I usually prefer the screened sheet with small holes in it to allow the crust to dehydrate on both sides evenly). Dehydrate overnight. Will keep for up to 2 weeks if kept dry and cool.

Almond Cheese

This fluffy, creamy spread is concentrated and rich. Use it in wraps, or to stuff celery stalks, or wherever you would use mayonnaise.

2 cups soaked almonds
1 lemon, juiced
1/3 cup olive oil (or oil of choice: grape seed, avocado, or coconut)
1/2 cup of water
1/2-1 tsp whole unprocessed salt (to taste)
1/4 tsp ground mustard
1/4 tsp Spice Hunter Cafe Sole

Blanch the almonds in boiling water for 30 seconds. When they are cool, pinch off their skins and discard. Place lemon juice, oil, and water into a food processor and begin blending. With the food processor running, drop almonds through the top opening and blend well until emulsified to a think fluffy consistency. Add the spices. Scrape the sides and stir as needed; adjust the consistency with water. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 to 5 days.

Tomato Sauce

2 pints cherry or grape tomatoes (or 4 regular tomatoes)
1 Tbs dried oregano (or fresh if desired)
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes
1/3 cup fresh basil
1/2 tsp whole unprocessed salt
1 clove garlic (remove middle section of clove to quiet odors)
1-3 tsp psyllium seed husk (the more you use, the thicker your sauce will be)

Place all the ingredients into a food processor and pulse-chop to a chunky consistency. Set aside. This sauce will keep in the fridge for 3 to 5 days.

Toppings

Choose any of the following to sprinkle over the top of your pizza: chopped, sliced, shredded, or julienned zucchini, carrots, jicama, cabbage, romaine lettuce, beets, spinach, or bell peppers.

Pizza Assembly

Placed finished crust on the counter and spread with a thick layer of Almond cheese, then a thick layer of Tomato Sauce. Sprinkle with topping. Serve Immediately.

Pasta with Creamy Pesto Sauce

Serves 4-6

A wonderful way to veggie up your pasta. You do not even need the pasta if you choose. Serve it cold in the summer or warm in the winter.

3 cups shaved small yellow squash (or zucchini)
2 red bell peppers, cleaned and sliced into long thin strips
1 red onion, sliced in thin rings (marinated in some Real Salt)
1 cup chopped tomato
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped fine in food processor
1/2 cup chopped fresh oregano (or 1 tsp dried oregano)
1 Tbs destemmed and chopped fresh rosemary (or 1/2 tsp dried rosemary)
1/2 Zip (Spice Hunter)
1 tsp minced garlic (or 1/2 tsp garlic powder)
1 tsp minced ginger (or 1/4-1/2 tsp powdered ginger)
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1 lb vegetable pasta made without eggs
1 bottle Garlic Galore pesto with sun-dried tomatoes
1 can coconut milk
Whole pure salts to taste
Soy parmesan (optional)

With a vegetable peeler, shave the yellow squash (or zucchini) lengthwise into long, thin strips, cutting any remaining parts with seeds into long strips with a knife; or you put the squash through a Saladacco machine, which cuts in into angel-hair pasta. In a bowl, combine with all the ingredients up through the lemon juice; mix well and set aside. Prepare the pasta according to the package directions. Drain and toss with a small amount of olive oil to prevent sticking. Keep warm. Put the Pesto and coconut milk into a food processor and precess until creamy. While the processor is still running, add water to your desired consistency. Add salt to taste. To serve, arrange the pasta on a plate, topping with veggie mix and then creamy pesto sauce. Sprinkle with a soy Parmesan if desired.

Edamame Patties

Serves 4

These are hardy little veggie burgers that can be pan-fried if you are in a hurry, or dehydrated for 4 to 6 hours to make a more crusty outside. They are made with a base of edamame that you can find in your health food store in the frozen section.

3 Tbs flax seeds
6 Tbs water
1 carrot, grated fine or processed to fine pulp
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp dried onion
2 sun-dried tomatoes (packed in olive oil)
1/2 cup parsley
1/2 tsp dried mustard
1/2 tsp turmeric
1 tsp Mexican seasoning (Spice Hunter)
1/3 tsp Deliciously Dill (Spice Hunter)
1 tsp Real Salt
1 (10 oz) pkg vegetable soybeans

Grind flax seeds to powder using a blender or coffee grinder and put in a bowl. Add the water and stir to mix well. Set aside to gel up.

Put the flax mixture, carrot, garlic, dried onion, sun-dried tomatoes, and all the seasonings into a food processor and process to your desired consistency. Then add the edamame beans and process until well mixed. You can make this coarse and more chunky with the beans showing, or smoother and more mixed if you like. Also, you can use more edamame beans if the mixture seems to be too moist. You should be able to form this into patties easily. Then make small patties and put into a dehydrator for 4 to 6 hours, or use a little grape seed oil, dip the patties in some sprouted wheat tortilla crumbs, and fry on both sides. Serve with the Rich Raw Tomato Sauce. You can also use different beans and seasonings to change it up a little. Play with it and have fun!

Seed Pancakes with Coconut Whipped Topping

Serves 6-8

This combination of seeds guarantees a good intake and ratio of essential fats. Make sure you start with very fresh organic raw seeds and nuts. One good source is Jaffe Bros.

1/4 cup raw pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup raw sunflower seeds
1/4 cup raw sesame seeds
1/2 cup raw flax seeds
1 cup miller or spelt flours, or a combination of other flours (quinoa, amaranth, buckwheat, bean)
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp Real Salt
1/16 tsp Stevia (optional)
Unsweetened soy milk or water, as needed

Mix the seeds together. Place 1/3 cup of this seed mixture at a time into a coffee grinder and grind into a flour (or you can grind it all at once in a Vita-Mix blender). Measure out 1 cup and put in a bowl (store the rest in fridge or freezer). Add the remaining dry ingredients and stir. Then add soy milk or water until you reach your desired consistency. The batter will thicken after sitting a couple of minutes. Heat some olive, coconut, or grape seed oil in a frying pan, spoon in the batter, and brown the pancakes on both sides.

Buckwheat Pancakes: Use 2 cups buckwheat (made from raw buckwheat kernels) instead of the flour.

Whipped Topping

1/2 carton soft tofu
1/3 cup Thai coconut milk
1/2 tsp non-alcohol vanilla
1/8 tsp white stevia powder
1 Tbs fresh lemon juice
Whip all the ingredients in a blender and serve over Seed Pancakes. Store in the fridge.

Bake 10-14 minutes or until egg substitute is set.

Zippy Breakfast

Serves 1

This would make a delicious meal anytime, but I love it a the start of my day.

1-2 cups cooked rice or grain of your choice
1 avocado, sliced
1 firm tomato, chopped
1-2 tsp oil (flax, olive)
1/2 tsp mineral salt
Juice of 1 lemon or lime (or both)
Zip (Spice Hunter), to taste

Start with the warm rice in a bowl. Arrange the sliced avocado and tomato on top. Then drizzle the oil, salt, and lemon juice over the top. Sprinkle with Zip to taste.

Variations: You can also throw some chopped red bell pepper, sunflower seed sprouts, and soaked almonds over the top for extra crunch.
