This recipe will require that you track down freeze dried peas which are often available at Whole Foods Markets and always available online at Amazon. I prefer the Karen’s Naturals brand of peas. Freeze dried peas are flash heated before freezing unfortunately, so they aren’t considered technically raw. But I find this meal to be such a great, hearty fall back for those times when I’m needing something really satisfying. I consider it an almost-raw dish that is delicious and so filling! This would be the perfect meal for someone who is trying to transition into an all raw diet. This recipe is low fat, vegan, and high-raw.
