Recipe Description
Recipe:I did not measure the herbs for this recipe but it did not take much. I tasted it along the way adding more as needed.2 large portabella mushrooms or 6 baby portabella mushrooms ( The large are easier to make)1/2 Cup sun dried tomatoes diced1/2 Cup clean raw cashews A few pieces of sun dried fruit diced diced I used dates but raisins would work2-3 Small crushed garlic clovesSliced red onionSliced tomatoSliced yellow or red bell pepperFresh basil Fresh oregano dicedFresh thyme diced (I did not have any so I did not add this.)Unrefined sea saltAdd a raw sweetener such as dates for a raw diet or Honey or agave nectar for vegetarians. Vegetatians may add nutritional yeast for an extra nutty flavor. Organic wheatgrass for garnishOrganic lemon wedge for garnishFresh spinach for garnish Tools: blender, covered bowls, spoon, mandolin, and cutting board.
Prep work for the cashews and sun dried tomatoes:Wash and the soak the cashews in water for at least 6 hours.Dice the dried fruit, basil, thyme, oregano, minced garlic, dice the sun dried tomatoes and add salt, raw honey and a little water. Allow them to soak at room temperature for a couple of hours or marinate in the sun.The dried tomatoes had a bitter flavor so I added 1 T of raw vinegar to the tomatoes and it seemed to help.I was going to add a tiny bit of olive oil but was not sure it was considered raw. So I used the vinegar instead.
Make the cheese:Pour off the water from the cashews and rinse again.Pour the cashews into the food processor. I used a blender but a food processor works much better. Add the nutritional yeast a little at a time until you are happy with the flavor. I used about 2 T.Add a pinch or two raw unrefined sea salt if needed.Add 1-2 tablespoons of water.Blend.I added more water 1-2 tablespoons at a time until it was the consistency that I wanted.Remove the cheese from the blender and put it in a covered small dish and chill for a couple of hours.
Make the pizza sauce:Blend the tomato mixture to a pastePlace the paste in a covered bowlSet in the sun for a couple of hours to marinate
Prep the mushroom:Wash the mushroomsRemove the stems keeping the cap in tactRemove the gillsCover and allow to set out at room temperature before adding the vegetables.
Prepare the vegetables:Wash the produceand ( thinly) slice the onion, bell pepper, and tomatoes, and cut a lemon wedge.Cover them while they set out at room temperature before layering onto the mushroom and serving.A mandolin works great for making thin slices.
Layer the pizza:Layer the sauce, basil, thyme, tomato, bell pepper, onion, cheese, and top with wheatgrass and oregano.Serve at room temperature or if you have a sunny location safe from bugs or containments, place in a sunny location until warmish.
I am tempted to try the raw diet but I am not quite there. I was surprised this recipe tasted so close to regular pizza. I enjoyed it very much and will be making it again. The only thing I did not like about it was the bitter taste of the sundried tomatoes however it was not a big issue. I am wondering if drying tomatoes at home will remedy the bitter flavor. I happened to add some olive oil to mine while I was eating it and it helped a lot. I used to make cashew pimento cheese when I was a vegetarian and my family loved it.I sincerely thank instructables, contributors, authors, and readers for making this an awesome place to share.Have a safe and happy day!sunshiine
