OMG! I made the best thing tonight that I've made since going raw. My own recipe that is. I've made loads of other things that rocked more but came from someone elses imagination.

Ok... here's what you do.

Ingredients

1 cup of dried tomatoes
1 cup of cashews
1 cup of almonds (hadn't soaked or dehydrated)
1 lebanese cucumber grated
1/2 peeled carrot in one inch pieces (roughly... don't measure!)
1 teaspoon of curry powder or to taste
salt to taste
Juice of a lime
a small handful of chopped coriander
4 average sized fresh tomatoes
garlic

Firstly, cover your cashews with water to soak
Cover dried tomatoes with warm water and... soak!
Grate your cucumber and put in nut milk bag. Squeeze out the liquid and keep for another time. Cucumber juice is lovely!

While they are soaking get out your trusty food processor and process your almonds until they are finely ground. Add the carrot, curry powder and salt. Process again until the carrot is pulverised! If you need to add a very small amount of water so that it forms a loose ball.

Press onto two dinner plates. Make it very thin. About half a cm or so. Pop in dehydrator on around 105 degrees. It won't dehydrate much but will be warm when you eat it.

Drain your cashews. Put them in your blender and squeeze in your lemon juice, 1/3 clove of garlic (you will use the other 2/3) and salt. Add just enough water to almost cover the cashews. Blend until smooth. Scoop into bowl. This will thicken on standing.

Finally... back to your food processor. Drain your tomatoes. You can empty the cucumber out of your nut milk bag by now and squeeze the tomatoes out over this if you like or just hold them tightly in your two hands and squeeze!

Put the drained tomatoes in the food processor with tomatoes, half of the coriander, salt, 2/3's of a clove of garlic. Process until not chunky but not smooth. Sorry. Cannot describe better. Too late. Words are failing. When this is done put the mixture in the nut milk bag and squeeze the liquid out. Don't be too pedantic. It doesn't need to be bone dry. Just so it's not dripping... no one wants a drippy pizza!

Take your cashew mix and add remaining coriander and the grated cucumber. You can add salt or more lime juice here too if you like. I added some.





Voila! Best (Jen) raw pizza ever.

Ok... drawback, because the base is moist it will need to be eaten with a knife and fork. But still yummers.

This can be made without the dehydrator. I only used it to warm the base. While making this I also made the kids a GS and did a few other things as us mothers do and it still only took around 25 minutes. Awesome!

Have tried to proof read this but too too tired. Will check again tomorrow. Any questions? Please ask. I'll be making different varieties of these over the next few weeks as they proved popular. Bill loved it which says a lot!

that looks really good! is the cucumber blended into the cashew sauce? looking at it i think it'd taste like tzatzki (not sure of the spelling).

that looks superb, Jen!

that looks pretty good --- yummo !!

Hi Rita, I soaked the nuts for about an hour before blending. That's why it's are so smooth. I do have a vitamix but I don't have my old blender otherwise I would test it for you and see how I went. I might have to borrow it back from my GF to see!
