Raw 'paella'

"This is from a fantastic website - Freshtopia.net. I've posted the original recipe, however I prefer to use a mix of grated carrot and courgette rather than turnip. You can watch the video on the site, but here's what they have to say about it.. "it’s clearly a large departure from the traditional dish, but it is a healthy departure harboring a wide range of nutrient-rich power foods. It’s actually not as much work as the rather lengthy ingredient list implies, and well worth the effort. This one is good the next day as well, perhaps even better as the saffron continues to infuse the dish with flavor for up to 24 hours.""

  1. I really liked this, and so did my toddler! I didn't even have dulse flakes, so it will be interesting to see how it is when I try it again. I also used all zukes for the turnips, since I had several on hand. I made one poor choice, which was using smoked paprika (I know, probably not considered raw) because I like it and thought it would "go", but it almost completely overpowered the saffron. However, I tossed several more mushrooms into the marinade to use the next day in a salad, and that was a great decision! I look forward to making this again.
