Spicy Deviled Avocados

March 27, 2016 by Lisa Viger Leave a Comment

There’s something about deviled eggs that just seems so Spring-like. These deviled avocados fit that niche the raw vegan way. Creamy and spicy with that particular piquant flavor that makes deviled eggs so appealing, but without the need for any eggs! Once again, avocado proves it’s versatility.

A delicious recipe that can be thrown together in minutes. Makes for a great addition to any brunch spread or as a contribution to a potluck. The recipe can easily be scaled in case you need to make an extra big batch.

Jicama Garlic Chili Cheese Fries

It’s Monday, and Mondays call for simple, rewarding recipes. What better way to deal with Monday than with some spicy, garlic-y chili cheese fries? Raw and vegan, of course! Move over potatoes, there’s a new fry in town, and its name is jicama.

These certainly aren’t your every day fries (after all, they aren’t even fried). But they certainly do the job well. The jicama takes the place of potatoes, while nutritional yeast takes over for cheese. Of course, you can adjust the spices and herbs to your heart’s content, making it more or less spicy as is your discretion.

Great for snacking and for sharing. And, unlike conventional fries, these chili cheese fries will actually nourish you, rather than punish you!

Mmm, corn chowder! Creamy, hearty, comforting. Making soup in a blender is super easy, and preserves all those delicious nutrients and phytochemicals.

The rich flavors are rounded out with paprika, garlic, lemon and — believe it or not! — vanilla. Great as a side or as a main dish.

Raw Vegan Chorizo Lettuce Tacos

If you were setting out to make a raw vegan meal of some sort, chorizo tacos might seem to be just about the least likely candidate you could find, aside maybe from haggis. But these tacos go beyond any mere imitation of meat! These yummy nummies are overflowing with rich, spicy flavor which stands on its own feet. It’s not your grandmother’s chorizo!

Lettuce makes for a surprisingly awesome shell for tacos. Often used in South Asian cuisine for wraps, it’s an interesting sort of fusion to see them here in chorizo tacos. And speaking of that chorizo, it’s amazing what you can do with nuts and some spices!
