for Denise re: corn chips

[Guest guest]

I too was getting cravings for corn chips when my daughter would eat

them. I solved the prob by making homemade raw corn chips! I cut the

raw corn off the cob, add a little natural sea salt and a squeeze of

fresh lime, whirl it all in my magic bullet blender (I should think a

regular blender or food processor would work) I like to leave it a

little on the chunky side. I then put the paste in a ziplock bag, cut

off a small corner of it, and pipe the mix onto the teflex tray of my

food dehydrator, and dehydrate until its nice and crunchy. They are

yummy! I agree with Elchanan about if you have to refine something,

but I am about 80 percent raw at this point, and not quite ready to

give up some crunchy snacks. I hope this helps.

By the way, I use the leftover corn husks as a base for vegetable

stock-I just throw them in the pot with whatever other veggie trimming

I have around, simmer for about 1 hour with fresh herbs, seasonings,

etc.

I also loved my crunchy foods, now I eat celery when I

want the crunch or roll some leafy somethings around

bits of tomato or salsa (made w/herbs not onions &

stuff)

 

The reason I wrote was to encourage that as you begin

to change from dehydrating, you might like to try

something that I did for " chips " -- take a pair of

kitchen sissors and cut leaves of red cabbage into

triangles and make a BIG bowl of them to dip and munch

and swipe through whatever salsa/zucchini hummus/or

other dip - you might come up with.

 

Happy munching!

 

Oh these also made a good batch of nachos which my

non-RF friends LOVED & couldn't get enough of, when I

used nuts to make a mock cheese and used sunflower

seeds to make a mock ground meat.

 

Simply,

Lesa
