Raw Vegan Chili And Cornbread Summer Dinner Idea

This dinner takes about half an hour to prepare, not counting dehydrating time of about 4 hours, minimum. The corn and rice take about 20 minute each. they are just steamed... The chili and cornbread can be prepared early in the morning and will wait in the dehydrator until you are ready to eat. It couldn't be easier or more delicious.


Lightly steamed corn on the cob, Red lettuce with shredded carrot salad, Spanish style rice, raw chili, raw corn bread.











This is the second time I made this dinner and we really love it!


Spanish rice is:

2 cups vege broth
1 tomato pureed in the blender and strained through a seive to remove the seeds and skins
1 cup rice
Cook this like you would normally cook rice. Takes about 20 minutes.

Raw Corn Bread is:

8oz frozen corn kernels
half a carrot
rib of celery
3 tbs ground flaxseed
3 dates
1 tbs vinegar

Put all in FP and process until its a thick, chunky paste. Spread it on a sheet and dehydrate at 125F until it's as dry as you want. I like it thick and flexible for this recipe. Thin and crispier and it will be CORN CHIPS. Two recipes for the price of one!

Raw Vegan Chili is:

1 med carrot
2 stalks celery
1 bell pepper
2 roma tomatoes
2 leaves of kale, or more.

Chop everything into bite size pieces. Used the food processor with slicing blade to slice carrots, celery and pepper. Hand chop the tomatoes and kale.

Mix veges together in a flat pan. I used my 9x13" glass baking casserole. Put them in the dehydrator at 125F while you make the chili sauce.

Chili sauce:

5 roma tomatoes
1 avocado
2 tbs ginger, peeled
2 cloves garlic
1 med yellow onion
1/2 tsp dry mustard
2 tsp Mae Ploy Curry Paste. I looked it up, this curry paste IS RAW! Watch the vid on the website. The one they show used shrimp but the yellow curry does NOT! A Major Coup.

Pour this into your mixed veges and stir it up.
This is ready to serve now, or dehydrate it at 125 F until you are ready to eat it. It just gets softer and tastier the longer you leave it in the D.

I hope you try this and I really hope that you enjoy it. Please, take photos and let me know!

  4. Nicole, Im sorry, I don't know how I missed your comment/question! bad blogger!

    I didn't use sour cream much in my pregan days and I haven't had any clash yet, knock wood :) I have made a really creamy sauce from cashews but nothing like sour cream. I wish I could be more helpful. Thanks for giving me something to think about, anyway :)
