Living Rawesome Day #349 Fava Bean Puree and Oil pg. 44 entertaining in the raw
July 8, 2010
I wrote a quick email to Matthew Kenney and asked him what to use instead of Fava Beans and he suggested I use fresh peas, so I lucked out today at the store. They had organic sweet peas! I am hoping to find the different varieties of beets that I need to finish this recipe. There is a Farmer’s Market in Brooksville that I want to check out this weekend. I am hoping they have a variety of beets. If not, I will have to use red beets. So wish my luck in finding them.
This puree and oil were simple and quick to make.
Puree Ingredients
fava beans (I used fresh peas)
olive oil
lemon juice
salt
fresh mint
nutritional yeast
fresh basil
I peeled the peas and combined them with the olive oil. I placed them into the dehydrator for 90 minutes and then processed them in the food processor with remaining ingredients.
Oil Ingredients
fresh herbs such as mint, basil, oregano, parsley
olive oil
I placed herbs into the Vita-Mix with olive oil and blended until smooth. I then placed it into the dehydrator for 30 minutes. I strained it and placed it into a glass jar until I find the beets.
This meal is basically done, I just need the beets. I hope, hope, hope I can find them on Saturday!
I often listen to music while I make food. It always brings out my creative edge. I love music. I sing and dance while I prepare food. Well tonight I listened to Johnny Cash. He was so brilliant! Love this quote, that follows. I all too often keep my mind on things in the past that I feel like I failed at, and seeing his words makes me realize AGAIN, I need to forget and move on. God has a plan for me and whether I like what happened in the past or not, they are ALL lessons! Thank you Lord and Savior!!
“You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don’t try to forget the mistakes, but you don’t dwell on it. You don’t let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.”
Johnny Cash
