Raw Food Wednesday returns for 2006... Keyword: Pureed ;)

The kofta turned out really well on the dehydrator -- they kept their shape and had a great texture, not too crumbly, not too chewy and a good match with the curry sauce.

The way the spiral cutter made the zucchini noodles was just ideal for this dish -- almost the same thickness and consistency as traditional cooked spaghetti. If I didn't know better I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference.

Finally, a word about mustard greens -- wow, those things are spicy! As soon as you slice one up you can smell the aroma -- no mistaking what kind of green your eating ;)
