Living Rawesome Day #319 Sweet Pea Flan with Macadamia Foam, Lime Powder, and Black Sesame Tuile pg. 22 entertaining in the raw
June 7, 2010
I just finished the complete recipe. I decided to do it early and get it done so after my class I can relax, or go for a walk or what ever the good Lord wants:)
My class is in a few hours and I am ready with all things frozen, everything ready to be packed into the car and everything soaked. Now off to the gym.
Flan Ingredients
3 cups cashews, soaked 1-2 hours
1/2 cup coconut meat
1/4 cup prepared Irish Moss
1/4 cup juice of sugar snap peas
1/2 t salt
8 large mint leaves
Blend all ingredients in a Vita-mix until very smooth. Pour into lightly oiled flan or custard ramekins and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Foam Ingredients
1 cup Macadamia nuts, soaked 1-2 hours
3 cups water
salt
soy lecithin
Blend all ingredients in Vita-mix until smooth; strain through a chinois and reserve.
You spoon the foam from top of mixture and drizzle close to flan, hugging the edges, for garnish. Then sprinkle lime powder.
Jason loves sugar snap peas! I am so happy I found them ORGANIC! The tuile is really fantastic! Very light and flavorful. I am going to make different varieties of these. I think they would be great with the base of flax and squash, but add cinnamon and raisins, and make a dessert or breakfast. Spinach is another alternative I would like to try, for a wrap with veggies on it.
Wow, here comes a light rain, I don’t have to water my garden after all:).
