Friday night is Pizza night

So for a third day running Melbourne suffers 40 plus degree heat… we are all a bit bored with it and getting cranky from lack of sleep, well I am anyway.

When life hands you global warming it’s time to get sun drying so I sliced up some capsicum, celery, and mushrooms along with the ever present tomatoes and put them out on trays.

Then I concocted a pizza base that went like this

Pizza base

2 cups sprouted mung beans

1 cup ground linseed

1/2 cup sunflower seeds

1/2 cup almonds

Nutritional yeast/miso/salt

1 tsp agave nectar

water to get the right consistancy

Blend adding water as needed to get a thick paste.

Spread on baking paper in the vague shape of a pizza base and bake in the sun, turning once to dry evenly- about 6 hours

To make the pizza I blended the veges that I dried out roughly with some dried italian herbs and spread the thick paste on the pizza base.

I then chopped up an avocado and put that on top.

Then I covered it with cling film (probably toxic and evil) and put it in the fridge for 2 hours. This allowed the base to soften and absorb the pizza flavor from the veggies.

I could only eat half of one as it is pretty nutrient dense and I had it with a rocket and spinach salad with an olive oil and apple cider vinegar dressing.

Friday night is pizza night!

29…

Hey it was another scorching day in Melbourne so to make the most of it I decided to let the sun “cook” some of my dinner for me.

Experimental Crackers

1 1/2 cups almond meal left over from making ‘milk’

1 cup sprouted wheat

1 cup of linseeds

1/2 cup sesame seeds

1/2 cup sprouted mung beans

1 cup sunflower seeds

Miso paste or nutritional yeast

macrobiotic salt

water to get the everything to blend well

Pop everything in the food processor and blend well, the linseeds will be whole still and I left the sunflower seeds pretty chunky.

Spread the paste on baking paper and put out in the sun under a net until dry, took about 6 hours.

Hey presto a giant cracker which breaks up into nice little crackers easily and tastes great or as the children said “tastes like normal food”

I ate mine dipped in cold thai style coconut green soup which I had left over from earlier in the week.

Since I havent eaten bread in a year and a half- I cant tolerate complex carbs, this was lovely and of course the sprouting of the wheat makes it easier to digest.

Tomorrow is going to be hot again- what to “bake”?
