The Raw Truth

Tamales

This raw adaptation of the classic Mexican dish is simple to make and tastes delicious.

SERVES 4

1 cup flax seeds

6 cups corn kernels (approximately 12 ears corn)

1 cup dried cilantro

2 teaspoons sun-dried sea salt

2 cups Mexican Wild Rice and Tofu

1 cup Red Pepper–Chipotle Salsa

1 cup Star Fruit Guacamole

In a coffee grinder or food processor, grind the flax seeds into a fine powder. In a food processor, blend the corn, cilantro, salt, and flax powder until
well combined but still chunky. Form into 4 patties, each ½ inch thick and 6 inches in diameter, arrange on dehydrator sheets or a piece of waxed
paper on a flat tray, and dry for 8 to 10 hours (see here). Top each patty with ½ cup of the rice, ¼ cup of the salsa, and ¼ cup of the guacamole.
Enjoy!
