Raw Stuff

Servings: 
a lot - plus leftovers
Ingredients: 

2 stalks celery (with leaves) - shredded
1.5 parsnips - chopped
3-4 small carrots - shredded
1/3 large golden beet - cubed
1 medium apple - chopped
2-3 tbl. fresh rosemary - finely chopped
handful of pecans - broken into medium-sized chunks
1/4-1/2 cup plumped raisins (optional)
1 small head cauliflower
juice of 3 oranges
some tahini
2 tbl. fresh grated ginger
I think Charity added some lime juice for good will (she's like that)

Directions: 

Good ole' stuffing. What would Thanksgiving and the holidays be without it? This Thanksgiving my friend Charity and I made a dish that we call "raw stuff." It looks like stuffing, but it's just a tasty melange of vegetables. In a large mixing bowl, mix the first 8 ngredients plus whatever else you feel like putting in there (maybe some fresh sage?). Shred the cauliflower in a food processor with the S-blade. Mix the orange juice with enough tahini to make it thick. Add the orange juice/tahini mixture and the ginger in the cauliflower and process until evenly mixed. Combine all the ingredients and mix together. Serve.
