Raw cauliflower orzo with sundried tomato and hand-wilted dinosaur kale marinara


Raw cauliflower orzo (minced cauliflower, sea salt, cumin, dulse, lemon juice, evoo/flax oil) with sundried tomato and hand-wilted dinosaur kale marinara (lemon juice, sea salt, sundried tomatoes, red pepper, nama shoyu, evoo/flax oil).

Inspired by a pair of recipes in RAWvolution.

For this dish, I hand-wilted the kale, which means, in essence, that I minced the kale and then gave it a bit of a massage. Using the heat from your hands with a little salt and a little acid (usually lemon juice) is a traditional way to wilt greens and I find it useful for raw food preparation. The effect is similar to a light steaming.

It's like the easy way for a few people to eat a whole head of raw cauliflower without really noticing. So good!!

It would look better on a darker coloured plate though. :p
Like, school bus yellow. or sky blue. or something...

Or with more dulse to give the cauliflower itself more flavour and colour (more nutrition, and to dry it out a bit as well).
