I had this for dinner last night - it was YUMMY!!!

1 head cos lettuce
3 tomatoes
1 clove garlic
1/2 a chili (small red hot)

I blended it all up until smooth and yummy! It was quite spicey and very satisfying. I loved I ate the equilivant of Piers' salad at dinner last night so easily. Usually I don't make it through a Piers sized salad even though I mean to!

Give it a try. We all tried it last night, and basically decided it was yummy, and worth making again! It's not a publishable recipe because it's not very pretty, but definitely a personal favourite.

Cheers,
Sheryl

Are you soups frothy in texture?  I tried to make a raw tomato sauce for zucchini, and it was too frothy to be good.  Any hints?

Hi Diabra,

When you do tomato sauce you need to add a handful of sun dried tomatoes to thicken it. That helps keep the froth down. Tomatoes do tend to froth. I know when I make tomato soup sometimes I need to wait for the bubbles to give way before eating! Anything else you can use to thicken it would help too.

Anyone else have any tips on reducing froth in tomatoes?

Cheers,
Sheryl

adding a couple of apples,or soaked fresh dates 1 or 2 seems to help cut down on the foaminess of the fresh toms...

and makes it nice and thick,and a touch of sweetness,particularly the apples...tastes very fresh...

Thanks.  I will try again!
I was 'sharing', ok, 'making' my sister eat it with me ( I figure- share my raw choc stash, eat the zucchini too lol), and she was gagging over the texture!   I will thicken it next time. 

Thanks for the replies,

I like doing tomato sauce with tomatoes blended with garlic, chili and a small piece on onion (until smooth), then adding sun dried tomato to taste. Many recipes also use a little something sweet to blanace out the flavour (ie a date). Commercial tomato sauces are half sugar, so people are used to that! If you want an extra flavour boost after adding to the zucchini try adding some small slices of olive and green onions to garnish! Yummy!

Last night we had zucchini pasta with a cream sauce made from cashews, olive water, chili, garlic, olilves and lemon (with water added to thin). YUMMY!!! It's Harley's Masterpiece and we've used it so far for pasta sauce and also on top of pizza shells!

Hope next time goes better! Feed her delicious raw foods you know she'll enjoy... it's a sure way to win her over. Bubbly tomatoes on zucchini is not! *GRIN* Your poor sister. Hope you gave her more chocolate after for her bravery.

Have a magnificent weekend,
Sheryl

Absolutely!  She is interested and eats a large proportion of raw, she just tends to prefer whole foods (AND raw choc) over my 'fabulous' creations.  Wise girl!  I love variety and cooking, or uncooking, so the experimentation will continue, despite the cries haha.

You too, have a good one,
