Living Harvest Chocolate Truffles
|
|
|
Recipe type: Dessert
Author: Living Harvest
Prep time: 20 mins
Total time: 20 mins
Serves: 20
- 4-6 Meedjol Dates (soak first and extract seeds)
- 1 cup of raw almond butter
- cups cashew (run through a nut grinder)
- 2 TBS Tempt Vanilla Spice Protein Powder (you will use more to dust truffles with later)
- Pinch of sea salt
- tsp vanilla extract
- 1 TBS chia seeds
- 2 TBS cocoa powder (or carob, raw cocoa powder)
- Place all ingredients in a food processor or Vitamix and blend. It may take a while to fully blend but when it does it should like something like a Larabar. This mixture will also be kind of warm which doesn’t work for rolling into little balls. I recommend putting it in the fridge for a few minutes.
- Next, on a plate or paper towel sprinkle a good portion of the protein powder with a dash of salt. Make into 1” balls and roll into the protein powder mix. Serve as is or add a chocolate coating:
- In a small bowl mix 2 TBS coconut oil, 3 TBS cocoa powder and 1-2 TBS Agave nectar to taste, you can also substitute a few drops of stevia liquid.
- Dip each of the truffles into this mix and set in the refrigerator for roughly 10 minutes and serve. These can also be stored covered in the refrigerator. We experimented with freezing the truffles and they still tasted wonderful. You should have about 20 truffles.This recipe is pretty fool proof. You can even add coconut flakes, use plain protein powder and substitute the vanilla extract with peppermint to make Protein Peppermint Patties. Raw foodists can play with various nut or seed butters, add goji berries or cacao nibs for extra crunch.

Roasted Delicata Squash
Stuffed with Kale and White Beans
|
|
|
Recipe type: Main
Prep time: 30 mins
Cook time: 60 mins
Total time: 1 hour 30 mins
Serves: 4
We served this at the Non-GMO Project Holiday Party. It was delicious—the combination of the squash, kale, and white beans is a perfect pairing.
- 2 delicata squash, halved and seeds scooped out (you can save them and roast them for snacking!)
- 1 large garlic clove, minced
- extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 15-oz can small white beans (such as navy beans), drained and rinsed
- about 4 large handfuls greens – baby spinach, chopped chard, chopped collards, etc. – washed and spun dry
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh sage leaves
- 1/2 cup fresh breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place the squash halves (cut side up) on a sheet pan or in a baking dish. Drizzle the surfaces with some olive oil, and season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Bake in the oven until the flesh is tender when pierced with a knife or fork, about 1 hour. Remove the squash halves from the oven and set aside.
- Meanwhile, make your filling: heat a little extra-virgin olive oil (about 1-2 Tbsp) in a saute pan over medium heat until hot, then add the minced garlic and saute for about 30 seconds, until fragrant. Add the greens and saute until wilted. Now add your drained, rinsed white beans and continue cooking the mixture until the beans are heated through. Stir in the chopped fresh sage, season to taste with coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper, and set aside to cool slightly.
- Now you’ll fill the squash halves: first, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. In a small bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs and grated parmesan cheese. When the bean and green mixture has cooled slightly, stir half of the breadcrumb mixture into it — this will help bind the filling together slightly. Divide this filling mixture between the cooked squash halves, mounding it in each.*
- Sprinkle the remaining breadcrumb and cheese mixture over the top of the filled squash halves. Drizzle some olive oil over the top of each squash half. Return the pan to the oven and bake the squash halves until the topping is golden, about another 15 minutes or so (check a little bit before so the topping doesn’t burn.
- Serves 4.
- *If you have any filling mixture left over, it makes a great lunch dish: spread it in an individual gratin dish, top with another dusting of breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese, drizzle some olive oil over the top, and bake in a 425 degree F oven until the topping is golden. It’s great by itself or spooned onto some crusty bread – yum!

|
Recipe type: Main
Author: Attune Foods
Prep time: 15 mins
Cook time: 25 mins
Total time: 40 mins
Serves: 4
Gluten Free doesn’t have to be boring! This recipe was born out of a desire for a healthier “fried” chicken tender that is baked, crunchy and full of flavor.
- 1 cup Erewhon Crispy Brown Rice GF cereal
- 1 cup Erewhon Corn Flakes
- 1/2 lb. organic chicken tenders
- 1/4 tsp. Za’atar
- 1/2 T paprika
- 1/2 tsp. black pepper
- 1/2 T onion powder
- 1/8 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, minced
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup milk or unsweetened non-dairy beverage
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Butter or use olive oil spray on a cookie sheet.
- Place cereal in a plastic bag and crush it along counter top.
- You can use your food processor if you have one too.
- Crush / grind until desired consistency, resembling small broken flakes and meal-like consistency.
- (I used two kinds of gluten free cereal for better texture and flavor.)
- Once you’ve got the consistency down, add in the spices and cilantro. Shake the bag until your ingredients have well blended.
- In a small bowl, add and whisk the egg and milk until combined.
- Empty your bag of spiced crumb mixture onto a plate.
- Pick up one chicken tender and soak in the egg / milk combination.
- Next dredge it through the crumbs on one side of the tender before flipping it to the other side.
- Make sure to check all sides of the tender to ensure it’s adequately coated with crumb mixture.
- Set on cookie sheet.
- Repeat with the other chicken tenders until all of them are coated with crumb mixture.
- Place chicken tenders in oven for 25 minutes.
- Enjoy!
