Raw Chocolate Mousse Recipe


Raw Chocolate Mousse Recipe (for 2 people)

Raw cacao
Cashew nuts (optional)
Ripe avocado
Agave syrup
Coconut oil

Melt 3 table spoons of coconut oil on a very LOW heat.  Put into a magi-mix with a whole avocado and a small handful of cashew nuts (if you have a nut allergy you can leave out the cashews but only put 2 table spoons of coconut oil) and blend until no lumps and very smooth. Then put this into a bowl and add 2.5 heaped scoops of cacao powder into the mixture and mix up until blended in.  Then add 1 table spoon of agave syrup.  Taste the mixture and add more agave to sweeten more to taste.

Put into 2 ramekins and put in the fridge for an hour to let set.  Then serve as a delicious superfood hit of anti-oxidants.

Scrummy Humous

It is so easy and quick to make this humous and it will wow the crowds at a dinner party!

1 tin of chick peas
1 lemon
Tahini
olive oil
1 clove of garlic
pinch of fresh coriander

In a magi-mix put the can of chick peas (no water) squeeze the juice of the lemon, 1 table spoon of tahini, 2 table spoons of olive oil, 3 table spoons of water, the garlic and coriander (you don't have to use this - you could also try mint - it is delish!)

And blend... if it is too think just as a small amount more of water.  - only add a little at a time.  If you make it too runny you just need to add more chick peas!

Serve in a bowl and sprinkle a few chick peas on the top for decoration.

ENJOY!

In a wok put some olive oil in the bottom on a high heat and add the red onion, ginger and garlic.  Leave to simmer for 2 mins and then add a splash of water.  (if you were to use chicken add this now and cook for 4 mins before adding the veg) Add the 'hard' veg first - carrots for 5 mins then the fennel and 1/4 of the chopped fresh coriander.  Leave to simmer for 5 mins constantly stirring then add 1 tin of coconut milk and 1 table spoon of the green curry paste and stir.  leave for a further  5 mins then add the green beans, aubergine and broccoli heads.  then add half a tin more of coconut milk but all of the cream and 1/2 table spoon of the curry paste.  leave to simmer and stir. (at this point you would add the prawns) Add another 1/4 of the coriander and the chopped chili and a pinch of himalayan salt and pepper to taste leave for a further 5 mins and then serve with brown rice and add the fresh coriander as a garnish.    

Tips: if its to watery then add more of the coconut cream (not the milk) if you add more of this you will need to add more curry paste.
