CASHEW RICE LOAF

2 cups cooked rice

1 - 2 cups ground cashews (raw or roasted)

1 tbsp of soy sauce

1-2 tbsp of chopped parsley

1/2 an onion, sauteed

2 eggs

Mix the ingredients in a bowl. Press into a greased loaf pan. Bake at 375-400 F for 45 mins or until a deep golden brown colour.

Gravy:

1/4 cup almonds (raw)

spike seasoning (or other mixed seasoning shaker)

1 cup water or milk

1 -2 tbsp of flour

Blend the almonds, spike, water and flour in a blender until you have made a slurry (milky looking watery puree).

One celery stalk, chopped

1/2 onion, chopped

Heat oil in frying pan. Add Onion & Celery. Sautee until veggies are soft. Add the Almond Slurry and simmer, scraping the bottom of the pan, until the gravy thickens.

Serve the Rice Loaf with the Gravy on Top. I like it with cooked Carrots!!

MANGOTINI

MANGOTINI

Ingredients:

Fresh Lime Juice

Ice

Mango Juice

Vodka

Chill Martini glasses and shaker. Add ice, juice from 1/2 a lime, 3 parts mango juice, 1 part vodka. Shake vigorously. Pour into Martini glass. Serve with slice of lime on side of glass.

TIP: Rinse the Martini glass under water and then put in freezer to chill. This will allow the glass to become extra frosty.

TIP: Use good, fresh ice. Make your ice with filtered water. I like to turn my icetray upside down over the ice bin once it has made ice. This way the ice stays fresher and little bits don't get in there. You can also have an ice container with a lid.
