Hemp Mylk, Hummus & Tempura

July 10, 2010 by christine

How’s your weekend going so far? Off to a good start I hope. I’m happy to put this long 4-day work week behind me even though this will be a busy weekend with a raw class, family dinner, shopping and hopefully loading my dehydrator with goodies. Yesterday’s lunch salad was another leftover mutant.

Spinach, tomatoes, red peppers, carrot ribbons and cold leftovers from the curried lentil quinoa dish with a little toasted sesame oil for dressing – a great filling combo if I do say so myself.

I also received another shipment of 5 lbs. of hemp seeds from Amazon.

Whew, I’ve been out for the last two days! I separated out a pound of it to go into the fridge for instant use and the rest into an OXO freezer container to stash in the freezer.

Hemp seeds are a huge part of my diet currently with all the recipes I use them in from creamy sauces and dressing, breads and crackers to just sprinkling them on salads. I also use them in place of cashews in a lot of recipes just because they’re a better source of protein and easier to deal with not requiring soaking. Currently I go through about 5 lbs. every 2 months, but that’s probably going to change after trying Gena’s Hemp Bliss!

Yum! I skipped adding the lecithin because I don’t mind a little separation and found the mylk was thick enough without it. It’s currently my new favorite mylk because it has a great flavor that could easily go sweet or savory, requires no pre-soaking or the use of a nut milk bag, so it’s much quicker and simpler to make. Plus, I know this is not raw, but it’s great in hot coffee.

Looks like a frothy cappuccino, doesn’t it? Fresh whipped seed mylk straight from the Vita-Mix is great in coffee! If you haven’t tried her hemp bliss yet – do it! By far the easiest way to create homemade raw vegan mylk.

While I was playing in the kitchen, I got experimenting with a new hummus recipe too that I’m still perfecting.

It uses soaked chickpeas and combines my love of spicy fruit flavors. I testing this batch on family for further opinions this weekend, but I like having a container of fresh hummus in the fridge for quick weekend lunches, snacks or fast hors d’oeuvres if friends drop by.

Anyway, hubby and I stepped out to our favorite local sushi place for dinner last night were I got my usual splurge vegan dinner of edamame and veggie tempura.

Greasy tempora is an addicting splurge food for me, probably my comfort food stemming from happy memories of family tempura nights where we sat around a deep fryer while my parents served fresh pieces around.

    I love to get tempura appetizers when I go out for asian cuisine, usually Thai. I love soft shell crab tempura, but the veggies that come with it are excellent too. The edamame looks yummy too! :)

    requires no pre-soaking or the use of a nut milk bag = MY KIND of milk! I saw her recipe and really should try it. I am just not that big of a nut mylk person. I mean it’s fine but I guess if this could work as a coffee creamer, that’s all that you really need to say and i am all over it!

    your splurge of going out? looks like a fun time and i have never been a fried food person and get a tummy ache from grease but there’s never been a choc/cookie/cake that ive met that i havent liked and splurged on :)

    I’m with averie- more of a sweet splurge person for sure. Never tried tempura though…

    I made almond mylk yesterday but not sure what to do with it since I rarely have cereal. Would it work as a coffee kreamer?

    I also love having a batch of home-made hummus or any other dip on hand, for ease.

    Happy weekend!

    I very recently decided to go from a vegan diet to a high raw diet. I already see an improvement in my skin and the way I feel and can’t wait to read more of your recipes! Edamame is one of the most amazing foods. Ever.

    Hmm.. I’ve never used hemp seeds for anything. The only think hemp I’ve had is milk.

    […] Foggy, quiet and a little eerie –  felt like an X-files episode. Anyway, at the Foodbuzz Blogger Fest, I scored some sweet free cereal coupons that I’m finally using. Before going high raw, I used to eat cereal just about every day, but replaced my breakfasts with monster green smoothies. This weekend I tried a Erewhon Strawberry Crisp cereal with homemade hemp milk. […]
