Raw ketchup recipe
1 1/2 cups of diced tomatoes
3 tablespoons dates (do not soak)
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes (dry - do not soak)
Raw ketchup recipe inspired by Ani's Raw Food Kitchen
Directions
1. Blend everything in the blender except the sun dried tomatatoes. Add the sun dried tomatoes in last and blend until you get a ketchupy consistency.
2. Ketchup is complete!
3. Serve on veggie burgers and don't forget your raw mayonnaise (yummy)!!Or serve this raw ketchup recipe on top of raw macaroni and cheese. :)
The Rawtarian's Thoughts
Raw ketchup recipes that have the right ketchupy texture aren't that easy to find.
I really like this raw vegan ketchup recipe, from Ani's Raw Food Kitchen, a new book that I bought lately.
Once again, it's pretty easy and can be made instantly without any soaking or prepping. All you need is a blender.
Of course, you can serve this raw ketchup recipe on raw burgers or any other raw meal that calls for ketchup! The texture is really perfect, the first time I made it it turned out perfectly without any tweaking. After I refrigerated my leftover ketchup for a day, there was a little bit of oil separation, which I drained off. Other than that, I have no improvements to suggest.
Grab your blender and start making raw ketchup already!

I also just discovered your blog. Subscribed and look forward to seeing more fantastic articles and recipes from you!
One thing I'd add to the front page is a way to navigate to older articles. The bottom of the page doesn't include a link to previous articles as most blogs have. Feel free to email me if you have any trouble adding this - I'm a web developer and would be happy to help!
I've been dabbling with raw for a few weeks now. One of my biggest challenges is living with roommates who regularly bring home fast food, pizzas, and snack on my produce. It's hard to resist eating some of their meals...I still haven't kicked the cravings for cooked and greasy foods. Though, I still feel good about substituting one or two cooked meals a day with a completely raw meal or green smoothie.

Hi Kevin! Now that you mention it, that makes total sense. I will endeavour to make this change shortly. Beware, I am not the most prompt of people. :)
Good luck on your journey... My advice? New roommates!! :) J/K, but, seriously, I know that makes it that much harder. Good for you with the green smoothies. The more fresh fruit and vegetables that you can incorporate into your diet the better, so good for you.

Glad you enjoyed it Alina! Loooove raw pizzas. I used to live off frozen pizzas in my previous life so I am glad to have an option to replace!

Not as long as a bottle of Heinz ketchup - that's for sure :)
Probably 4-5 days
