Wednesday

My workin' girl lunch yesterday was a yummy wrap with marinated veggies, cashew/lime spread and avocado:




I have been preparing a new meal for the past two days and it involved a lot of steps, patience and time.  Many items needed to be dehydrated.  I read recently that a dehydrator could actually be called a "flavor enhancer" and I believe this to be true as well.  With several components of my meal I was simply trying to concentrate flavor within the food rather than to dry it.

I used three main components to recreate Addicted to Veggies' tart recipe.  I made the tart according to the directions found here.   They came out fantastic.  I will be using this recipe again and again, I can already tell.  Simple, delicious, pretty easy to make and quite versatile.   I can't wait to try different toppings and cheeses with this tart.  The possibilities are endless.

I next took a basic cheese recipe from the book Raw Food/Real World.  It was to be served wet and cold in the original recipe but I dehydrated it to really give it an ultra cheesy flavor and crumbly texture.  It came out perfect!  I wish that I had made more now because I will definitely be eating it up before too long.

My final component included marinated sweet onion, cherry tomatoes and scallions.  I put them in the fridge overnight to soften with some salt, pepper and olive oil.  The next day I dehydrated them.  They also came out very yummy.

Here is my finished lunch:
