Zoodles with Raw Tomato Sauce

After being in Denmark for the past week I’ll admit I have been eating a little bit too much of mum’s good food – she even documented it every time I ate because she couldn’t get over the fact of how much food my tummy could contain. Yep, that’s my mum!

So, after getting back home to Australia 19 hours ago, I’ve been doing all the things I loved and missed: going to the gym, practising yoga, running and cooking (and eating of course). But over the next few days I’ll be giving my body a break and only eating veggies, fruits and nuts.

I finally got to work on a delicious raw tomato sauce which I’ve been meaning to do for ages. Finally nailed it. Don’t be scared that it’s ‘cold’ and not cooked. Firstly, it’s so much better and more nutritious to keep the vegetables in their purest form, that is raw. If you don’t like it cold, you can warm it up after making it – I’d think that would work just fine. I had my tomato sauce with some delicious raw zoodles – which is zucchini’s that are made into ‘noodles’. You do this with a spiralizer or grating tool. Super easy!

Ingredients:

• 2 small zucchini’s
• 2 medium tomatoes
• 1/2 ripe avocado
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1/4 tsp Rice Malt Syrup
• 1 clove of Garlic
• 1 tsp dried Basil
• 1 tsp dried Oregano
• Salt & Pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Grate the zucchini’s on your grating tool or a spiralizer. Put in a bowl and set aside.
2. Combine chopped tomatoes, avocado, lemon juice, rice malt syrup, garlic, basil, oregano and salt & pepper in a blender and blend for 10 seconds. I like mine a bit chunky, but keep pulsing until you’ve reached your desired consistency. Add more herbs and salt & pepper to taste if you feel like it.
3. Grab your bowl of zoodles and ladle the tomato sauce over.

This recipe serves 1 person – there may be a little bit of tomato sauce left over depending on how much you like on your zoodles.

Hope you like it x
