Raw Pizza
"The Raw Pizza Extravaganza (non-dehydrated raw pizza) takes about 30 to 40 minutes to prepare but is well worth it! I have to tell you this pizza trumps any cooked pizza out there! This is what cooked pizza is TRYING to taste like! smileys/smile.gif
My family asks me to make this 2 or 3 times a week!"
prep-time: 30-40 minutes
INGREDIENTS
Crust:
1 cup cashews
pinch Celtic sea salt (or salt to taste)
1/2 cup fresh basil
Tomato Sauce:
1 cup sundried tomatoes (the kind you buy in a jar of olive oil. Otherwise, soak regular sundried tomatoes in water until soft, about 1-2 hours. Longer is fine if you want to soak them overnight for instance)
1 tbsp. honey
Cheese:
1 cup cashews, soaked 6-12 hours preferably
Juice of 1/2 lemon
pinch Celtic sea salt (or salt to taste)
1/2 cup fresh basil
1 clove garlic, with core of clove removed
1 tbsp water
Toppings:
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped finely
1 tbsp black olives, seed removed, chopped finely
1 yellow tomato, cubed
1/2 red bell pepper, finely chopped
1 stick celery, thinly sliced
1/2 cup button mushrooms, thinly sliced
Marinade:
1/2 lemon, juiced
tbsp olive oil
tbsp water
pinch salt
tsp honey (optional)
DIRECTIONS
1. To Marinate Toppings
- Mix all toppings in bowl
- Add marinade ingredients
- Allow mixture to marinate while you prepare the rest of the pizza. (Start the marinade earlier in the day for a softer toppping mixture. For a really soft topping you can put the marinade in a glass bowl with glass lid outside in the sun for 1 to several hours)
2. For Crust
- Blend cup cashews into powder
- Blend in basil and salt
- Remove from blender, complete mixing with hands if necessary, and press mixture down into a round crust on plate. It will be a fairly thin crust. After shaping and pressing down (kids love doing this part), use a spatchula to loosen the crust from the bottom of the plate
3. For Tomato Sauce
- Blend both ingredients together until smooth sauce
- Pour sauce on to pizza crust and smooth out until it covers crust evenly
4. For Cheese
- Blend all ingredients until creamy sauce
- Pour cheese over tomato sauce and smooth out evenly
5. Add Toppings
- Pour toppings on to top of pizza
Slice, serve and enjoy!
