Wow, was this an adventure or what? In the words of David "Avocado" Wolfe. . . I had the Best Day Ever. The food was grand, the class was engaged and I had two young ladies (under 15) that seemed to really enjoy quite a few of the delicacies prepared. (yep, that was pretty good for me).
So, one of the recipes for this class that were requested was the brocco-flower crunch..
broccoli florets taken down small (bite size)
Cauliflower taken down small (bite size)
soaked almonds (chopped) or pine nuts
crasins
red onions
diced bell peppers (various colors)
diced turnips/kolrabi
diced curly parsley (enough for amazing color)
Olive, Peanut, grape kernel or almond oil (judge according to amount of other items)
Rice vinegar or your favorite (to add a bite and nice flavor once it sets up)
sea salt just a dash
juice of half lemon (give or take - adjust to taste)
Sweetener (agave, coconut crystals, Stevia....your choice) just enough to have a hint of sweetness to balance the vinegar, onions, and the cranberries tartness..
Do all your dicing (place in a container w/lid) and then add the vinegar and oil.
let this sit for 1/2 hour or so this starts to soften and marinate the broccoli
then add the nuts and crasins.
Refrigerate until ready to eat (if you can)
Eat, Eat ans enjoy..
