2t dried oregano
2t dried sage
5T nama shoyu
1⁄2t cayenne pepper
2T olive oil
1T agave nectar
1t sea salt
Grind all ingredients in a food processor, leaving the mixture slightly chunky.

Tomato sauce:
11⁄2c sun dried tomatoes, soaked for 1 hour or more
2 soft dates
2 cloves garlic
2c tomato, seeded and chopped
11⁄2T dried oregano
1t salt or to taste (depending on how salty your s/d

1c pine nuts
2T lemon juice
2T nutritional yeast
2 yellow peppers
2T fresh parsley
1T fresh thyme
2t salt
1⁄2c water as needed

achieved.

Green pesto:
2c tightly packed basil leaves
3⁄4c pine nuts or walnuts
1⁄2c olive oil
1t salt
1 clove garlic
1T lemon juice
Process all ingredients, leaving plenty of chunkines

Spinach Layer:
6c torn spinach
3T olive oil
2t sea salt
Place all ingredients in a bowl to marinade and wilt for 1 hour or longer, putting the covered bowl in a dehydrator will help this process but it’s not essential.

For the assembly:
5 medium Courgettes, cut lengthwise and marinated
in 2T of salt and 3T olive oil for 10 minutes. Black pepper

Action:
1. Line the base of your dish with a layer of the courgette strips that slightly overlap
2. On top of this put down a layer of the walnut meat, then the cheese, then tomato sauce and finally
the pesto on top. Finish this with another layer of slightly overlapping courgette strips.
3. Repeat step 2 but before adding the final layer of courgette, take your wilted spinach and create an additional layer with that.
4. Placing the whole dish in the fridge for several hours will firm it all up slightly which will make it
easier to cut into portions.
5.Garnish individual portions with black pepper and a sprig of basil.

Tip: For slightly more impressive looking lasagna; build individual portions on the plate instead of assembling in a large dish.

Add chickpeas, Coconut Oil, Lemon/Lime Juice, Agave and Salt.
Mash together until chickpeas are nice and mushy.

This creates a zesty and sweet source of protein to mix with a salad or with veges. Or you can cook them like rissoles and serve with salad or veges.
You can also add some chilli to give it some spice.
I also like to make it act as the 'mince' in cabbage wraps.
To make them you just put the mixture into a cabbage or spinach leaf and roll up like a wrap. Soooooo Yummmmmmy!

Chocolate Fruit & Almond Bark

Ingredients:


1/4 cup coconut butter(oil), melted
1/2 cup cacao butter, shaved and melted
1/4 cup shaved cacao paste, melted (optional - will firm up chocolate bar) 
1/2 cup cacao powder (or add some carob powder to mix)
3 Tbsp maple syrup
1 Tbsp agave nectar or honey (optional)
1 tsp hazelnut extract (2 drop Medicine Flower Hazelnut)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (or 1 drop Medicine Flower Vanilla) 
1 tsp sunflower lecithin
1/4 cup raisins
1/8 cup dried cherries (optional)
2 Tbsp coconut, shredded (optional)
1/4 cup combined almonds and walnuts, smashed

Action:

1.Melt chocolate: Place shaved cacao butter and paste in a metal bowl, placed on top of a smaller bowl filled with hot water. Add coconut oil and whisk together.
2. While waiting, place nuts in zip lock bag on hard surface and smash with a mallet, creating uneven chunks of nuts.
3.Add maple syrup, agave nectar, and extracts to melted butters lecithin, and stir. (Keep on top of hot water while mixing)
4. Add smashed nuts, raisins, cherries and coconut. Stir until well coated.
5. Pour mixture onto a cookie sheet covered with parchment and spread about 1/4" thick.
6. Place in freezer to set. Remove from freezer and break into chunks. Store in freezer.

Warning: This is NOT like M&Ms and it does melt in your hands if you don't get it into your mouth fast enough. Yummm...Oh yeah! "RAW"nchy chocolate! I eat it right out of the freezer (and then LICK. LICK, LICK!).

For darker chocolate, use more cacao paste. For milk chocolate, use less cacao paste.

Adding more cacao butter and/or paste, using less coconut oil will make this more solid. Feel free to experiment with extracts and combinations of these ingredients. Have fun and share your results.

Chocolate Mud Balls

Ingredients:
-1/2 cup cocao powder
-1/3 cup of blended brazil nuts
-1/3 cup of blended almonds
-3-4 tablespoons water (boiled) 
-2-3 tablespoons agave 
-1/2 cup of coconut oil
-1 a large avocado 
-another ¼ cup of cocao powder

Action:
1. Add ½ cocao powder, blended nuts, water, ½ the avocado and agave syrup to bowl and stir. Add more water if needed for a cake consistency. If you use boiled water the chocolate becomes a sticky consistency which is what gives it the ‘mud’ affect after it has been chilled. (I like to boil mint in my water and then you have left over water for a mint tea to go with your balls!)
2. Roll into balls and put in a container and into the freezer. Allow them to sit for a couple of hours. 
3. Next blend the coconut oil, ¼ cup of cocao powder, ½ the avocado, and 1 tablespoon of agave syrup into a blender. This is your chocolate coating so make sure it is smooth. Add more water or coconut oil if needed.
4. Take out the frozen balls and coat them in the smooth chocolate coating. 
5. Put the balls back into the freezer and allow the coating to harden. The middle will always remain a soft mud chocolate consistency! Yum!
