Christmas is a special season that brings us together. Sharing a meal with our family is a way of connecting our heart into the world. Through the love we share within our personal families we become one big family.

I have put together an exquisite Christmas Dinner Menu that will delight your palette. Christmas means the Mass (celebration) of Christ. “Christ” means one set apart by God for a special purpose.

Let’s rock Christmas with this recipe that uses mushrooms along with nuts to create an incredibly realistic, turkey-like flavor.

TuRawkeyloaf

Yield: Serves 6

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Shitake
  • 2 cups cashews (soaked 8 hours in water)
  • 2 cups of chopped jicama
  • ¼ cup fresh sage
  • ½ cup nutritional yeast
  • 2 tsp Sea, Celtic or Himalayan Salt
  • ¼ tsp garlic flakes
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup chopped red onion
  • 1 Tbs dried rosemary

Instructions

  1. Process all ingredients in food processor until the mixture takes on a dough-like consistency. Place processed mixture on to a ParaFlexx sheet and smooth with a spatula to 1/2 inch thickness. Dehydrate at 105 degrees for 2 hours.
  2. After the mixture has dehydrated for 2 hours, you can either flip the loaf and dehydrate it for another 8 hours in order to produce a flat loaf, or you can make a rolled loaf. If you choose the rolled one be sure to make the Herbal Stuffing recipe first. To make the rolled loaf, carefully flip and continue to dehydrate for 1 hour more.
  3. Next remove the loaf from dehydrator and place 2 inches of stuffing in the middle of loaf and roll it into a log, like a jellyroll. Cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces and return to dehydrator. Continue to dehydrate for 8 hours. Best served warm out of the dehydrator. Garnish with pomegranate cran-strawberry sauce if desired.

Notes

If you don’t have a dehydrator, start your oven on the lowest possible setting. Place the mixture in a non-stick oven-ready pan. Put the pan in the oven and keep the door open. Use a fan if you have one. This is to keep the air flowing so that there is no condensation. The timing will be different when using an oven versus a dehydrator. You may need to “dehydrate” for as little as half the recommended time.

If you are making the rolled version of the TuRawkey Loaf, then you will need to double all of the ingredients here. Mix all of the ingredients in food processor until the mixture resembles stuffing. Do not over-process, make sure to keep it chunky. Transfer to a mixing bowl and set aside.
