Seed butter pesto

Today I made a raw lasange for lunch at Stockholms Matmarknad. I traded the usual nut based cream for pumpkin seeds.

Pumpkin seeds is an alternative to nut butters and pestos for those with food allergies. It is a great source of protein, vitamins A, E and C, zinc, calcium, iron and potassium. It also contains the valuable omega 6 and 9 essential fatty acids.

When making a real pesto no mixer is needed. I use a cutting board, knife and a mortel.
But to make the pesto more like a butter I used a high powerd Vitamix to really make it creamy.

Some of the best basil you can get is Swedish and from Åkerby Handelsträdgård and can be bought at the market.

To make this pumpkin seed butter/pesto you need:

4 dl of pumpkin seeds.

3 dl of coldpressed olive oil.

Zest and juice from 1 lemon.

2 tbs of agave nectar. I used raw honey from our roof tops. City bee hive farming a couple of stories up in the air.

1 1/2 tbs of salt.

5-7 dl of good fresh basil.

Mix a little bit at a time in mixer. Always pour liquid or in this case oil first to avoid the seeds and leaves to get stuck.

To connect and be social with my friends thru making little epic meals at home or eating at my favorite places is one of the most important corner stones in my life.

It doesn´t need to be all fancy and dressed up. The best places should feel just as comfortable as my favorite jeans and hoody.

Good seasonal produce treated with love. After all real true beauty comes from inside so if that´s already perfect why put make up on….

At work ( Stockholms Matmarkanad ) this´s what we aim for. Wheter it´s my plant food or some hot meal made by my colleagues and friends. Now that summer is over and you need a roof over your breakfast, lunch, dinner or oyster plateau you should pay us a visit.
Love is shared for the making of food everyday of the week on that really really small shelf inside the market place. Really really small 😉

I wish I could make these gluten free raw or almost raw pizzas at work. But here is one the of many recipes I use.

Gluten free pizza can be made raw or hot.

1/2 l of kombucha
2 dl of buckwheat flour
1 dl of black forbidden rice
2 dl of black chia seeds
1 dl of olive oil

Soak the black rice for 12 h. Dry slowly in oven and then grind into a flour. There is rice flour you can get but I like to make my own.

Grind the chia seeds and mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl. Pour in the oil and kombucha a little at a time.

Put the dough in-between two backing papers and use a baking pin to make the pizza crust thin.

Dry in oven for 24 h on low temperature or just bake like a regular pizza crust for 15-20 minutes.

Pimp the pizza with what ever you desire and put back into the oven for 10 minutes or until the topping is heated.

Then you dress the pizza with fresh toppings that you don´t want heated up.

A salad is a dish consisting of small pieces of food, which may be mixed with a sauce or salad dressing// Wikipedia

Buying salad sauvage from my favorite booth in the market in Nice

Left over salad in my lap

It´s also a beautiful way to serve plants. I some times say that raw food is a million opportunities to make a random salad look and taste amazing.

I love to roll mine up in rice paper och nori sheets, makes great finger food. I call the rice paper rolls for “condom of flowers”.

Skinny or thick you choose

Raw vegan sushi

Swiss chard wraps

Zuccini blossoms, shredded carrots, dijon mustard and avocado is a super yumy combo and a bit different than the regular asian once. Mix it up.

Or to serve it straight in a beautiful leaf of lettuce, chard, chiccoria or kale. Just put the filling in the leafy part.
Use sprouts, roots, fruits, meat, bird, beans, pasta, pizza, cheese or what ever you desire. Get touchy feely with your food, there are napkins you know.

Pimp with dressings, sauces or use funny little sauce cups to dip in. Or another favorit is to spray the dressing lightly with a mini water spray on to what your serving.

Cashew turmeric sauce

Raw lasange is also a way of serving salad

My favorite dressing is just lemon juice, salt and oliv oil. Massage it on your kale add some blueberries, pecans and creamy goats cheese.

Another sauce or more like a syrup is my date syrup, fresh berries ( black currants ) and some lemon juice. Pairs together beautifuly with mozzarella and basil.

If I´m making a speacial dinner I just put the ingredients on the table and then on a wooden board. On the table goes whole pieces of peaches, tomatoes on the wine, oliv branches, cedro lemons and just about everything you also have on the board cut up for eating.

Plant lovers can have thier fun while still sharing with the meat lovers. Make the salad the center piece and add/make the extra bits around it.

Then we can share everything and eat with our hands to good wine and music. These nights are epic and I call them Kitchen Sauvage.

Let the pictures inspire you more than my words. Make up your own combos.

And if all you use is lettuce, tomatoes and cucumber made with an open mind it can turn out pretty damn good as long as you want to.
