Raw Recipe #2 - 'Cheesy' Cauliflower

Hollycat

Got this one from The Sunny Raw Kitchen and tried it last night. Good enough to eat the leftovers for dinner tonight. Adjusting the taste buds to a raw diet can be a challenge, but this comfort-like food makes it easy. Choose a LARGE cauliflower. The sauce is very thick and can be spread over a lot of cauliflower.

'Cheesy' Cauliflower

For the cheese sauce:

1 1/2 cups raw cashews, soaked 20 minutes
2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary [I used jarred - it was fine]
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons lemon juice
6 tablespoons water
3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
1/2 teaspoon salt
Pinch cayenne pepper
Pinch turmeric

1 spring onions (green onion), finely chopped
5 chives, finely chopped

- Blend all ingredients except onions and chives in a high-speed blender until smooth.

- Stir in onions and chives by hand.

For the cauliflower
1 medium cauliflower, split into small florets (this will be about 4/5 cups) [I just chopped it up small enough that I could eat it with a fork]
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
Pinch turmeric

- Mix all ingredients in a bowl, massage in by hand and leave to marinate for 10 minutes

To assemble:
- Mix the cheese sauce and cauliflower together and serve in individual portions in small bowls. The bowls can be placed in a dehydrator 1 to 2 hours before serving to warm through. [I didn't bother - I was SO hungry - but it would have been nice warmed - more like mac 'n cheese]

- Sprinkle 1 T chopped chive over the top and serve.

Enjoy!
