Love of coconut butter

Good morning friends,

Thanks for all the lovely and inspiring comments about staying true to yourself They really helped and brought a smile to our faces! So thank you!!!

As it is a nasty,cold and wet day here in NC we thought about trying to bring some joy and happiness to our blog today to help get everyone’s mind off the weather

Today we are going to share how we made our coconut rice stacked dish!  This is a re-creation of Michelle’s final dish at school!

Seriously has become one of my favorite meals! It is easy to make, pretty to look at, and leaves your taste buds satisfied.

Pure2Raw Recipe: Coconut rice stacked avocado dish

Ingredients:

• 1-2 avocados
• 1 small red onion
• 1-2 tbsp olive oil
• pinch sea salt
• couple pinches of your favorite jerk seasoning (we created one by using cinnamon, cloves, thyme, nutmeg, & cayenne)
• 1 small head of cauliflower or half of a large one
• 1 cup coconut flakes
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1/4 tsp curry powder (mainly for color)
• 3/4 cup softened coconut butter (not the oil, though if you need use the oil I will up the coconut flakes)

Directions:

Take your red onion and slice it up into thin strips. Place on dehydrator sheet and coat with olive oil, pinch salt,  & your jerk seasonings. Let dehydrate for at least 5 hours. *Or you may lightly sauté the onions and spices on a skillet. You want the onions to be lightly caramelized.

Next, take your head of cauliflower and lightly chopped it up (this helps when you put it into the food processor to keep them all similar in size)

Place chopped cauliflower into your food processor. *we used our small food processor so it took us two times to get all the cauliflower chopped finely

Pulse till finely chopped

Next add in your coconut flakes

Place into food professor with spices, garlic, and pinch salt. *we added in some lemongrass to ours love it!

Pulse till finely chopped again

Combine finely chopped coconut flakes with your finely chopped cauliflower and add in the 1/4 tsp curry or turmeric

Next add in coconut butter and stir till well combined!

Our all time favorite brand of coconut products Artisana!

That’s it. Time to put the whole thing together!

Slice up your avocado, grab your onions, and bowl of coconut rice.

Time to build layers. We used a large circle cookie cutter to build our layers in. You can use anything you can find that is deep to build up the layers in but easy to remove.

What we did: first put a layer down of the coconut rice, next top with top slices of avocado, than top with red onions. Than repeat that same thing one more time. And it is done!

*note- there will be leftover coconut rice which you can save to make more stacks with or create another delicious meal out of it. Or you may eat plain Lots of options to play around with!

Seriously much better than rice out of a box in my opinion! And a lot quicker to make

Great way to ‘add’ more veggies into your diet and kids diets too!

Love how the red onions bring so much color and height to this dish

We love this dish: easy, full of nutrients, full of the healthy fats, raw, vegan, gluten-free, and nut-free!

Dinner is served! We hope you and your family give this a try and let us know how it is It is a fun way to experiment with new veggies and spices to bring in color and variety into your diet
