    AtV Staple Recipe: Brown “Rice”

    http://www.addictedtoveggies.com/2010/07/atv-staple-recipe-brown-rice.html?m=1

    Another Staple Recipe? Yep, yep, yeppers!
    I’ve actually been sitting on this one for a little while now, and only yesterday perfected it. Naturally I’m beyond excited to share it with you guys! Like many other Staple Recipes to come be sure to bookmark this one, as you will be seeing it’s appearance in the near future.
    One more important thing about this dish — I cannot tell you how incredibly good it is, and how much it tastes like short grain brown rice! So if you’re like me and looking for alternatives to eating cooked grains, I hope you’ll give this recipe a try. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
    AtV Brown “Rice”
    (Please don’t be intimidated by this recipe due to it’s multiple steps – they are so easy, and SO worth it!)
    Step 1. Brown “Rice” prep
    3 c Oat Groats – soaked 16 to 24 hours, then drained, rinsed and dried – removing as much of the soaking liquid as possible. I like to do this by wrapping my Oat Groats in cheese cloth and squeezing it a few times.
    Place all of your Oat Groats into your Food Processor and pulse roughly 10 times, or until your Oat Groats have been evenly broken/chopped. ***You do not want to make Oat Groat meal, so be careful not to over process.
    You can also opt to chop your Oat Groats by hand. This may take some time, but the end result is well worth it.
    Step 2. Brown “Rice” Flavoring
    Combine the following into a Nut Grinder (my nut grinder is just a fancy coffee grinder in disguise):
    1/2 c Pumpkin Seeds
    2 Tbsp c Brown Flaxseed meal
    1 Tbsp Dillweed – dried
    1 Tbsp Nutritional yeast
    Sea Salt to taste
    —Grind until the above ingredients become a fine powder—
    Step 3. Making your Brown “Rice”
    In a medium sized mixing bowl combine the following:
    3 c Oat Groats – previously chopped
    Entire batch of Brown “Rice” Flavoring (see above)
    - Mix evenly -

    2 Tbsp Coconut Aminos //or// Nama Shoyu to taste
    - Mix evenly -
    Warming Method:
    Choose from one of the Raw Food Warming Methods noted here.
    Evenly spread your brown rice mixture out onto a parchment lined baking sheet or dehydrator tray.
    Warm your brown rice mixture for 1/2 hour to 1 hour total – or until your mixture dries slightly. (You’re doing this only to remove some of the access moisture)

    Arsenic in your food -

    Our findings show a real need for federal standards for this toxin

    Consumer Reports magazine: November 2012
    http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/arsenic1112.htm#recommendations
    “…

    • Within any single brand of rice we tested, the average total and inorganic arsenic levels were always higher for brown rice than for white.
    • People who ate rice had arsenic levels that were 44 percent greater than those who had not, according to our analysis of federal health data. And certain ethnic groups were more highly affected, including Mexicans, other Hispanics, and a broad category that includes Asians.
    • Reducing arsenic in food is feasible…”

    Chard Rolls

    4 Chard leaves
    2 Medium size potatoes
    1 Carrot
    1/2 of an onion – sliced
    1 Clove of garlic

    The potatoes are cooked in water. Once cooked they are drained and placed in a bowl with the carrots and made into a puree. The garlic and onion are also added to this puree.
    The chard leaves are washed and separated. They are then placed in very hot water but making sure that they do not cook too much. Each leaf is spread out and with a knife; the base of the leaf is cut off and discarded. In the center of the leaf a spoonful of the pure is placed. Once enough pure is placed then each leaf is rolled up and put onto a serving dish. The rolls are then ready to be served.

    Rye Bread

    4 cups rye flour
    2 cups whole wheat flour
    ½ cup molasses
    2 tablespoons dry yeast
    With ½ cup warm water
    2 cups additional water to mix the dough

    Let rise for 1 hour 15 minutes.
    Put in baking pan, raise again one hour,
    Bake about one hour at 375

    Salad Dressing

    8 Oz. of Orange juice (strained)
    1 Oz. of Apple vinegar
    1 clove of garlic
    Dill, tarragon and marjoram (to taste)
    1/4 of bell pepper
    1/4 of white onion

    The ingredients are added to blender. If dressing is too acidic then some brown sugar or honey can be added. After having blended the ingredients the dressings can be refrigerated for four to five days.

    You can add any vegetable that you prefer like some beets, celery, zucchini or any thig else it just has to be organic.

    Oatmeal Cake or Cookie

    - 2 cups (equivalent to 16 oz.) of whole grain organic oatmeal. The oats must be in a powder form so this can be done by placing the oats in blender (or food processor) for a few seconds until they are the right consistency

    – 2 or 3 bananas (mashed)
    - 4 oz. of orange juice
    - 4 oz. of apple sauce
    - 4 oz. of honey
    - handful of raisins (if preferred)
    - 8 oz. of grated carrot can be added (if desired)

    - Add oats to form soft dough with all the ingredients. Dough must be easy to stir. For added flavor you can pour some orange juice or liquid from raisins (this is made when raisins are stewed overnight in water to help them become softer. Once the raisins have been sitting in water they turn the water into a sweet nectar that can be added to the cake/cookie). Chopped fruit can also be added. Place all ingredients in a oven safe cake pan or cookie sheet and bake in oven (350 degrees Fahrenheit) until it’s brown.

    Rice Pudding

    1/2C of rice
    2C of water
    1/4C of brown sugar
    2C of raisins (or raisins to taste)

    The rice is washed, drained and then placed in a pot with water. When the water reaches boiling point the brown sugar and raisins are added. The heat is placed very low until the rice is cooked. Refrigerate and serve when cool.


    Cabbage with fresh green Peas

    1/2 a head of cabbage sliced
    1/2 cup of Green peas
    1/2Onion
    A few cloves of Garlic
    Laurel to taste
    Dill to taste
    Hypocrites soup for flavoring

    The cabbage, peas, onion, garlic, laurel, dill and soup are placed in a pot over a very low temperature on the stove. Cook these gently as if you were steaming the vegetables.

    Carrot Soup

    The main vegetable can be substituted for that one of your choice such as Cauliflower, zucchini, broccoli or potato.

    5 Carrots (or main vegetable of your choice)
    1 Potato
    1 Onion
    A few cloves of Garlic
    1/2 cup of Hypocrites Soup
    Dill to taste
    Parsley to taste

    All of the ingredients are cooked together. It is important to thoroughly cook at high temperature the vegetables but then as soon as they boil they should be set to simmer for 45-60 minutes. Once they are cooked until soft they are placed in a blender until mashed evenly. The soup is served hot.

    Hippocrates Soup

    This will render four (4) servings.
    - 4 medium potatoes cut in pieces
    - 2 small celery roots. If these are not available then 3 stalks of chopped celery can be used
    - 1 chopped white onion
    - 1 chopped leek
    - 1 whole garlic. Chop off the ends but you do not need to peel the whole garlic.
    - 5 to 6 Medium tomatoes
    - pieces of parsley
    Make sure that all vegetables are thoroughly cleaned with distill water. Once veggies have been washed well then place all vegetables in a large pot (with lid). Put enough water in pot so that it covers all of the vegetables. Cook at a high heat until the vegetables boil and then turn down to a simmer for two to three hours. When the veggies are cooked then use a food mill to make the soup. You can determine the thickness of the soup to taste

    Easy Raw Cauliflower Curry Over Rice (raw, vegan, gluten free, soy free)
    via Choosing Raw – vegan and raw recipes by Gena on 2/24/12

    http://www.choosingraw.com/

    Serves 2

    For the curry:
    Makes 2 cups curry

    2 cups chopped cauliflower florets
    1 1/2 tsps mild curry powder
    1/2 tsp turmeric
    2 tbsp lemon juice
    1 tbsp avocado oil
    Pinch sea salt
    Black pepper to taste

    For the rice:

    Makes about 2 1/2 cups rice

    4-5 parsnips, peeled and roughly chopped
    2 tbsp almond butter, sunflower butter, or tahini
    1/4 tsp sea salt (or to taste)
    2 tsps rice vinegar
    1 tbsp nutritional yeast (optional but tasty)
    Pepper to taste

    1) Whisk together curry, turmeric, lemon juice, avocado oil, sea salt, and pepper to make a marinade.

    2) Pour marinade over cauliflower, and mix well. Dehydrate at 115 degrees for 1 hour, OR roast at 375 for 30 minutes, OR simply allow to marinate while you finish prepping the rest of your dinner.

    3) Prepare raw rice by placing parsnip in a food processor and processing till it’s quite broken down, but not quite “rice” sized in texture.

    4) Add remaining rice ingredients, and then pulse until the mixture does resemble a medium grain rice.

    5) Divide rice between two bowls. Place half the cauliflower mixture over each bowl, and serve!

    My gently dehydrated cauliflower was so, so tender and tasty: read on

    While I was looking in Paul Pitchford’s Healing with Whole Foods book, I found 2 useful things. One is to soak all fresh fruits in vegetables in a mixture of 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar per gallon of water for 15 minutes to get rid of parasites. Although that means more work frankly.

    The other is that if first thing in the morning before you eat anything else, you thoroughly chew (to liquid) 1/4 cup uncooked brown rice, it will remove accumulated material and parasites from your intestines. It says you can soak the rice overnight if you have soft teeth. He also says you need to do it at the same time as a regeneration diet which is basically the way we all eat – no meat, sugar, coffee, white flour. He doesn’t say how many days or weeks (but I skimmed). I tried the rice yesterday and today and my stomach felt good so I will try to do it for one week. You aren’t supposed to eat for 3 hours after but I think tea is okay

    On youtube-

    Use cauliflower or sprouted rice as your base.
    To sprout wild or brown rice, soak 1 c. rice in water for 24 hours. Drain 2x a day for 2-5 days, until the grain is soft.
    If you’re using cauliflower, this is the closest you’ll come to the texture and taste of white rice.
    In the bowl of your food processor, pulse cauliflower into ‘rice’ and place in a bowl.
    In the FP, pulse the vegetables until finely minced. Stir all ingredients together.
    Drizzle with oils and/or sauce. Stir in sunflower seeds.

    1 c. sprouted brown rice or head of cauliflower
    Veges of choice:
    1 c. red bell
    1 c. carrots
    1/w c. green onions
    1/2 c. julienne beets
    1/4 c. purple cabbage
    1/2 c. peas
    1/2 c. yam
    a couple water chestnuts
    handful cilantro
    handful bean sprouts
