Raw Onion Bread

 
 

It doesn't get much easier than this guys. Really. A dehydrator and food processor are required, so if you have those fancy tools stored away for a wild hit of inspiration, now's the time to drag those babies out of hiding. 

We went up to St Petersburg last weekend for a mini-vaca, and after visiting the Dalí museum there - which actually houses the 2nd largest Salvador Dalí collection in the world. Crazy, huh? - we made our way over to a cute little raw vegan restaurant called Leafy Greens Cafe. I overheard the owner discussing her fabulous onion bread with another customer and decided that would be the next recipe on the agenda when we returned home. 

I adapted my recipe from The Rawtarian. I increased the dehydration time a bit since we live in super-muggy Florida and swapped out the sunflower seeds for pumpkin seeds. I prefer their flavor and I had a full bag of Go Raw sprouted pumpkin seeds expiring in a few weeks, so this seemed like a win-win. I happened to spot of bag of organic vidalia onions (my favorite) at Whole Foods so those served as the "sweet onions". 

 
 

Ready to get started? Here goes...

INGREDIENTS
         5 cups vidalia onions
         1 cup pumpkin seeds
         1 cup ground flax seeds
         1/3 cup olive oil
         3 1/2 tablespoons coconut aminos (or soy sauce or tamari)

  • Place the pumpkin seeds in your food processor and process into a fine meal. Take out and set aside.  
  • Peel onions, place in empty food processor and process until small but not mushy. (A blender does not work for this.)
  • Place onions in a large mixing bowl. Combine with everything else.
  • Spread onto dehydrator trays on parchment paper.
  • Dehydrate for 1 hour at 120 degrees, then reduce to 105 degrees and dry for another 6 hours. 
  • Flip them over, remove the parchment paper and finish dehydrating them until slightly crisp but still malleable, maybe 4-6 more hours.

*Store in the fridge for 4 days or freeze to save longer. Eat them alone, topped with your favorite pesto or spread, or create a wrap like I did. The possibilities are endless. These are the closest I get anymore to Longhorn's awesome blossom. Remember that? Those were the days!
