Green Leafy Recipe Contest

December 20, 2008

Here are the delicious recipe submissions for Raw Epicurean’s Green Leafy Recipe contest that was a part of and kicked off our first Annual Healthy Holiday Giveaway!

Thank you for all the recipe submissions. They each look and sound wonderful but now I have the not-so-easy task of choosing one recipe for the draw for one Lexen Healthy Juicer, courtesy 877myjuicer.com.

I am happy to announce that Faye Nulman of A Kneaded Escape, who submitted Baby Spinach and Tawco Meat Salad, wins the Lexen Healthy Juicer!!! Congratulations Faye!!!

Each recipe is shown here with a link that will lead you to the recipe post, otherwise the ingredients and recipe instructions are listed. Enjoy them all!!

Faye Nulman of A Kneaded Escape Baby Spinach and Tawco Meat Salad

½ cup pumpkin seeds soaked

3-4 sun dried tomatoes

¼ cup pecans

½ cup sliced mushrooms

¼ of a small onion

Splash of shoyu

Small squeeze of fresh lime (approx. 1 teaspoon)

Heaping teaspoon Cumin

Hing (Asifoteda, available in Indian grocery stores) Garlic can be substituted if exotic ingredients are an issue.

Heaping ½ teaspoon Ground Coriander

Pinch or so Caynne depending how you like it.

Place all in the food processor and pulse till desired consistency.

On desired serving plate, lovingly place Baby Spinach Leaves. Layer on top of this, thinly sliced tomatoes, top this layer with avocado slices or chunks, (your preference). Lastly, with your fingers, place bits of the tawco meat over the top layer. It will really look like the old SAD meat! Garnish with some finely chopped Cilantro! Enjoy with some fresh made salsa!
