Raw Rolls adventures in Cauliflower Cous Cous and Epic Fails

Sometimes the whole making raw food thing is a real adventure
I mean
I look through reams of recipes, food blogs as well as food pictures for inspiration
Once I see something I want to try
I collect all the ingredients
Then try and find extra time to try it out
Take pretty pictures
and hopefully make something that is a good post that I can share
sometimes I attempt things and they are such a flail
sometimes it is because I am being foolish thinking I have enough time
to play around creating
I rush through it and really make a mess
I thought this time was one of those times
BUT somehow an epic fail...
Became a very yummy lunch and a recipe I thought quite worthy of a blog post
The original idea came from a recipe for Cauliflower cous cous
The idea was to blend up cauliflower with a bunch of other tasty ingredients
then wrap them up like a sushi roll using thinly mandolin sliced cucumber
I realized mid wrap I really actually was going to need some nice wooden tooth picks to hold these lil babies together
BUT none were to be had so the roll came apart and failure began to be a clear
ALAS
IF in doubt
wrap it in Nori !!!
A Flail became Beautiful
I made one wrap completely raw
and the next I snuck a bit of leftover short grain Sticky Lundenberg sweet rice
These were so yummy

BY THE WAY
friends
YOU should really know that Cauliflower is voted one of the worlds HEALTHIEST FOODS
I am certainly trying to eat more of it!
This is a recipe that might help you included it in your meals another way other than steaming it
and having it stare back at you from your plate as if to say
 YYYYaaAAWWWWWnnn....
Hey ...I am Caulifower...I am LIKE so white and sorta boring and blandish...

Recipe:

3 Cauliflower florets
1 TBSP Organic Thompson Raisins
1 Handful of Parsley
1 TBSP Lemon Juice

The recipe I wanted to do was this

BUT it Turned out like this:

SO next I improvised 

And made some Nori Rolls

One Raw with Green snap peas, Avocado, Cucumber

ALSO one with a bit of Lundenberg short grain Brown Sweet Rice

as well as all the other goodies 

This was SO yummy

SERIOUSLY SERIOUSLY Ridiculous!!!! Carrot Soup Cooks in the Vitamix

Do you understand what this means!?
Making soup in a blender!!!
FOOLS
HEAVEN IS NOW ON EARTH!

No sautéing!
Simmering!
OR Big mess porting Hot liquid to the blender
because you are super impatient and waiting for the soup to cool

So in the midst of a sleepness night
I decide to drown myself in a pile of recipe books and Food Mags
After all if you cant sleep one has to seek comfort

Flipping through raw food ideas and the Vitamix cookbook that came with the blender I discover that you can actually cook soup in the blender
You put all your ingredients in
YOu switch the sucker on
and let er Rip for 5 -6 mins until ......
wait for it...
The soup is steaming and cooked
FRIG!
