Easy Vegetable Summer Stew Recipe

A slowcooker recipe

This meatless Summer stew was served to me at a friend's house and it was so amazing! I just had to ask my friend for her recipe. The stew has plenty of bold & hardy favor even with out meat. I was so surprised to see my male friend Steve ( who is a meat and potato guy) gobble it up! hope you'll enjoy it as much as i did!

This is the picture i took of my friend's recipe hope you can read it, so much easier than typing it all out. ( But not so good for SEO)

ENJOY!

Spicy Raw Vegetable Spaghetti

https://us.nyrorganic.com/shop/deannatoribio/area/shop-online/category/books/product/9275/neal-s-yard-healing-foods/

Try this Spicy Raw Vegetable Spaghetti recipe which has a cleansing effect on the body to help get you ready for your nutrition makeover! Raw vegetables provide more enzymes, vitamins and other essential nutrients than if cooked, and this recipe also helps to rejuvenate and clear skin!

To make the dressing, combine all the ingredients in a food processer or blender, then set aside.
To toast the pine nuts and sesame seeds, heat a small frying pan over a medium heat, add the pine nuts and seeds, and dry-fry, stirring until lightly golden.
Put the carrots, beetroots, zucchini, and radishes through a vegetable spiralizer to turn them into long thick ribbons. Alternatively, use a vegetable peeler.
Place all the vegetable strips except the beetroot in a serving bowl and toss with the chopped coriander leaves (adding the beetroot separately prevents the salad from turning pink). Add the beetroot, pour over the dressing, scatter a few of the pine nuts and furikake or sesame seeds, and serve.

Serves 4:

Handful of pinenuts

2 tbsp furikake (a Japanese seasoning of sesame seeds, seaweed, and other flavorings), or 1 tbsp each of black and white sesame seeds

2 carrots, peeled

2 medium beetroots, peeled

1 green and 1 yellow zucchini, stalks removed

3 small radishes

A large bunch of fresh coriander leaves, large stalks removed, and finely chopped

For the dressing:

Juice of 3 celery sticks (about 4 tbsp)

1 tbsp hemp oil

2 tbsp pumpkin seed oil

1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

2 tsp tahini

Salt and freshly ground black pepper
