Juicing For Health - Raw Curried Cabbage Pillows Recipe
This is a great recipe from Russell James(The Raw Chef) for raw curried cabbage pillows. It is great for adapting to contain your favorite filling of choice.
Make 2 batches of this wrapper recipe for 8 pillows.
For the wrappers
- 5c peeled courgette (zucchini)
- 3T olive oil
- 2t Lime juice
- 1/2t cayenne
- 1t ground coriander
- 1/2t salt
- 1/4c flax meal*
Blend all ingredients in a high-speed blender until smooth.
Add flax meal and blend again until smooth. *
Pour mixture onto a dehydrator sheet and spread evenly into a square. you can choose the size, but for the ones in the photo the mixture was spread 26cm x 26cm square.
Dehydrate for 8 hours at 105 degrees F, or until able to peel of the sheet.
Once the dehydrator sheets are removed, return to the dehydrator for 30 mins, until both sides are dry to the touch but still pliable.
* Flax meal is flax seed that have been ground in a coffee grinder or similar, to produce a fine flour.
Filling
- 5c white cabbage, shredded
- 6 spring onions (scallions)
- 2t cumin
- 2t ground coriander
- 1/4c cold pressed sesame oil
- 1T toasted sesame oil (optional)
- 1t salt
- 2T tamari or nama shoyu
- 2t lime juice
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed/minced
- 2 red Thai chilies, deseeded and minced
- 2T agave
- 3T tamarind paste* (optional)
- 1c fresh coriander, roughly chopped
* Soak 200g tamarind in 1/c water and break up with your hands. Strain the mixture through a sieve and you are left with tamarind paste. It should be roughly the consistency of watery yoghurt.
Combine all ingredients thoroughly in a bowl.
To assemble
Cut each of the wrapper squares from the dehydrator trays, which should still be pliable, into 4 equal squares.
Start with one of those smaller squares in front of you so that one corner is close to you.
Place a good amount of the filling mixture into the center of the square.
Fold up the corner that is closet to you into the center, then fold up the left and right corners so that you form an envelope.
You will need to wet the edges as you go along so they stick in place.
Fold down the final corner, as if you were closing an envelope and use water to stick it down (you will find that you'll get better at this the more you do).
Place on a dehydrator mesh tray.
When all 8 are done, return to the dehydrator for a further 1 to 2 hours at 105 degrees F. Serve with dipping sauce.
Dehydrate any left-over cabbage mix until crispy; it makes a great addition to any salad.
For The Dipping Sauce
- 1 cucumber, peeled
- 1 mango, skin & stone removed
- 1/4t salt
- 1t lime juice
- 1 spring onion, finely chopped
- 1 small handful fresh coriander
Blend all ingredients, except spring onions, until smooth.
Add most of the spring onion and all the coriander and pulse in.
Pour sauce into a small bowl and top with remaining spring onion.
