Ok, we’re coming to the tail end of our raw recipes for awhile, I promise!
This one is pretty impressive if I do say so myself, and it is definitely worth sharing. It’s fairly labor intensive, but I promise this will “wow” anyone who tries it!
1 zucchini, sliced super thin, lengthwise on a mandolin
12 cherry tomatoes
1 bunch of basil
1 cup raw sunflower seeds
1/2 cup walnuts
1/3 cup nutritional yeast, plus 1/4 cup
1/3 cup olive oil
5 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp water
Sea salt and black pepper
- In a food processor, make the pesto by pulsing basil, walnuts, garlic, 1/3 cup nutritional yeast, sea salt and black pepper
- Slowly, add in oil until smooth
- Grind the sunflower seeds and 1/4 cup nutritional yeast together in a food processor, blender or coffee grinder until a meal/flour is formed
- Pour the sunflower seed mix onto a plate
- Mix together the water and mustard and set aside in a bowl
- Dredge zucchini slices through mustard mix then dredge through sunflower seed mix and coat completely
- Pour a heaping tbsp of the pesto on one end of the zucchini strip (covering about a two inch area of the strip) and then top with a tomato
- Roll the rest of the zucchini over until a wrap is formed and then pierce a toothpick through it to keep it together
- Serve with raw marinara sauce
