Tonight I gave a demo at the Raw Spirit Festival called "A Taste of Thai." I thought you might like to share in the fun and so I am posting the recipes here for you to enjoy. And for all who came to the demo tonight, you rawk!
Thai Slaw (serves 4-6)
DRESSING
½ cup of your favorite raw butter
¼ cup coconut oil, liquid form
1 tablespoon agave nectar
Juice of one lime
1 silver of ginger, peeled and minced
1 small clove garlic, minced
1/2 tablespoon red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Combine ingredients in a large bowl. Use a whisk to blend into a smooth, creamy consistency. Add extra coconut oil a teaspoon at a time, if needed.
SLAW
4 cup finely shredded Napa cabbage
2 cup finely shredded red cabbage
1 cup finely shredded carrot
4 sprigs fresh mint, leaves only, shredded
Combine cabbages and carrot in a bowl and toss with dressing. Marinate for two hours before serving. Overnight is best.
Thai Red Curry with Sweet Potato Noodles (serves 4)
1 clove garlic, minced
1 Thai chili pepper, finely chopped
2 teaspoon curry powder
½ teaspoon ground red pepper
Juice of one lime
½ tablespoon coconut oil
1 tablespoon agave nectar
1 cup coconut milk
½ red onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 sweet potato, peeled
Basil, cut into thin strips
In a bowl mix garlic, chili pepper, curry powder and sea salt. Add lime juice, coconut oil and agave nectar. Gradually add coconut milk until curry powder breaks down. The sauce should be a saucy, soup-like consistency. Add onions and bell pepper.
Spiralize the sweet potato to make thin spaghetti noodles.
Pour curry on the sweet potato noodles, gently toss to coat. Garnish with basil.
Honey Mint Ice
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped coarsely
1 cup honey
2 cups water
juice of one lime
In a blender, puree ingredients until mint leaves are small pecks of green.
Transfer mixture to popsicle molds, ice trays or paper cups. If using ice trays or paper cups, add popsicle sticks to the center of the popsicle as soon as its solid enough to hold stick in place (about an hour). Continue to freeze for 4-5 hours.
