Recently I have been reading up on Raw Foods and am quite interested in the concept and quite amazed at all the dishes that can be made using raw food. A great book to read is Raw Food Real World put out by the two chefs that run NYC's raw food resturant - Pure Food and Wine. 100's of great receipes that if not made at least are a great read. With that said I did a test test on loosely based on a reciepe I read - now before you go thinking - No way would I eat this, I say give it a try, you might be as pleasently surprised as I was. There is no formal name for this reciepe so I will just call it Avacado Mousse.
Take one Avacado sliced
1/2 cup of orange juice
Juice from 1/3 fresh lime
1 teaspoon of honey (raw if you have)
Put all of the ingredients in a food processor and blend until a smooth consistency.
Serve in a mousse or pudding bowl and enjoy.
I hope you all give it a shot and let me know because I could not believe this little desert came from an avacado.
I'm game. that actually sounds good. It also sounds like it would taste good with other foods. Even though I am not a raw food person I do eat salads, vegetables etc. I think it's the name "raw foods" that scares people when in reality they eat this stuff all the time. They just need to experiment a bit.
By the way I have another friend who is into raw foods and I hope she winds up sharing her suff with us in the future .
