Hello all you wonderful uncooks,
I need your help transforming two of my favourite non raw dishes to raw. I’m good in the kitchen, but my culinary brain is still a little iliterate about making up raw recipes.
So here goes:
1. Pumpkin Seed Parsley Pesto (which is by far the most delicious pesto I ever had, raw or non-raw!)
1 bunch parsley (leaves only)
2 cloves garlic
1 ts salt
2 TS pumpkin seeds
100 g young parmesan cheese (about 1/2 cup)
100 ml olive oil (about 1/2 cup)
2-3 TS pumpkin seed oil
Process the first four ingredients in your food processor until well combined. Then gradually add pieces of parmesan cheese and olive oil and process. Add pumpkin seed oil and process a bit more.
I need an alternative to the parmesan cheese, (but I would like to try without nutritional yeast if possible since it’s not raw) does anybody have an idea?
This pesto has been an all-time favorite of our family, it’s so versatile: dip veggie sticks in it (especially delicious are carrots), have it with pasta of either kind, use it as a base on lettuce wraps, and so on. I’d be so happy to keep it in our raw kitchen!
2. Banana Chocolate Cream
5 bananas, the riper the better
cacao powder
2 cups cream
vanilla extract (optional)
Puree the bananas until smooth, then add cacao powder until the mixture is of a dark chocolatey color.
Whip the cream, then carefully combine the whipped cream with the banana chocolate puree. If the color is only a light brown add more cacao powder.
Tastes fantastic with belgian waffels, pancakes and all the raw alternatives to those, my kids want to have it every sunday. If I could still serve that on sundays, but raw, wow. :D
Do you have an idea how I could substitute the cream?
Thank you guys so much, I know you’re amazing!
All the best from Berlin, Sossoco

Thanks so much, you two!
That’s exactly the kind of information I needed. I’ll play around a bit and post the recipes once they’re worth it. :)
