RAW NUTELLA

There are a lot of different recipes which you can find on Nutella, but I think that this one is the easiest one, and it doesn´t take a long time to prepare it. The big fan of my home made raw Nutella is of course my daughter & me!!!!

It took me some time to learn how to make it smooth. So, don´t give up if you do not succeed the first time.

Raw Nutella

Ingredients:

- 1 cup hazelnuts
- 2 Tbsp cacao powder
- 1/2 tsp vanilla powder
- 3 Tbsp honey - or more if you like it sweeter (or coconut sugar approximately 1/2 cup)
- 1/2 to 2/3 cup filtered water (as needed) - also use coconut milk

For Nutella to be smooth I recommend a strong and good blender. If you don´t have that, make sure that the nuts are properly ground, flour-like. Add the rest of ingredients and blend until smooth, adding only as much water/coconut milk as needed to create a thick consistence like Nutella cream.

Tip: If you want to have a more delicate taste you can also add zest from an orange!

RAW MARINATED VEGETABLES

I love preparing this dish for two reasons it tastes soooo good and you can choose different side dishes to it. I realized that my daughter loves parsnips so I sometimes give her vegetables with parsnips or with noodles. Her favorite noodles at the moment are mung-bean noodles (not entirely raw) but lately she actually enjoys kelp noodles. But it has to be without any sauce therefor are this marinated vegetables perfect!

So, when you prepare vegetables the best is if they can get marinated for couple of hours (for example 2-3h). If you would like  to have them "hot" you can always add garlic or some other strong ingredient which you like. Let you imagination flow! ;-)

Raw marinated vegetables

Ingredients:

- Any vegetable you like in the picture I have (broccoli, cauliflower, bell pepper & mushrooms)
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 2 to 3 Tbs (or more) olive oil (or sesame oil)
- 1 Tbsp Tamari
- 1 to 2 Tbsp black and white sesame seeds (optional)

Rinse and cut all the vegetables in the peaces of you choice but not too tiny. Put them in the bowl. Pour the rest of ingredients over it and toss it well. Put it a side and after a half of hour make a toss again. Meanwhile rinse the noodles or prepare "parsnip" rice. Enjoy!!!
