The Living Food Processors have a Pasta Outlet. You can make rice noodles, barley or wheat noodles. Even buckwheat is possible. If you intend to cook the noodles, any normal dough can be made with the machine and then processed into noodles. Barley noodles can be eaten raw. For a variation, use any other sprouted or soaked grain.

Ingredients:
• 1 ½ cups barley
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• ¼ cup beetroot and basil juice
• 2 tsp veggie salt

Machine set up:
• First place the Living Juicer Mincing Strainer into the drum and onto the screw. Attach the drum cap onto the end of the drum by turning it counterclockwise until you feel it sits firmly. Then screw the Pasta making Nozzle onto the drum cap turning it counterclockwise onto notch 1.
• Place a big plate under the machines Pulp Discharge Outlet in order to catch the pasta.
• Always be sure to start the machine before you enter anything into the Guide and keep the machine running until finished.

Preparation instructions:
• soak the barley for 6 hours
• stir all the ingredients together in a bowl and let them run through the guide
• for a spaghetti shaped pasta use the round pasta nozzle, for a fettuccini shaped pasta use the flat pasta nozzle
• it is best to keep feeding the machine continuously in order not to interrupt the pasta coming from the outlet
• serve fresh or straight from the dehydrator

Preparation time: 15 min
Yields: 2 serves

Preparation hints:
When the noodles come out of the outlet, catch them on a plate and cut them into the preferred length. It is best to make noodles with 2 people. If you find the noodles sticky when they come from the machine, put them directly into the water you want to use to boil them in. Another way is to semi dry these noodles in a dehydrator for 3-4 hours at 35 degrees. To make your pasta colorful and more nutritious, add beetroot, carrot, spinach or and herb juice to the dough.

The Living Food Processor makes the loveliest dumplings from sweet rice. Apart from the boiled rice, this dish is raw and easy to digest.

• Place a big bowl under the machines Pulp Discharge Outlet in order to catch the paste.
• Always be sure to start the machine before you enter anything into the Guide and keep the machine running until finished.

Preparation instructions:
• pit the prunes and apricots
• mix the warm rice with the fruits, a pinch of salt and honey
• run the rice fruit mix through the guide
• then mix the apricot kernels into the mixture
• form little dumplings from the dough and serve immediately

Preparation time: 10 min
Yields: 2 serves

Preparation hints:
Apricot kernels are of high nutritional value and are still prescribed by naturopaths as a supportive food of high value for cancer patients. When you eat apricots keep the kernels and crack them with a nutcracker. Store them to dry. If you don’t have apricot kernels use almonds and soak them at least two hours prior to use. Make sweet rice dishes throughout the year with cinnamon, lemon, vanilla, nutmeg and five spices with fruits in season.

If you are a 100% raw food eater and don’t like to use rice, use a vegetable like carrot. This is a most delicious way to use leftover rice.

The best way to work the rice is to stir oil into the rice before putting it through the machine. The rice won’t stick to the machine while it will remain sticky enough to make the roll. Moisten the seaweed sheets by dipping you fingers in water and running them over the sheet before you put the mixture on it.

This truly is a gourmet meal. I have known people who swear they have never liked fish, raw or cooked and who have changed their minds after tasting this feast to everyone’s surprise. If you are one of these people, I am confident you could change your mind after trying the ‘Sea Lion’s Feast’.

Salad:

My father is an extraordinary cook who taught me this recipe. Although he mainly makes cooked meals, his fish salad is entirely raw and very addictive.

Ingredients:
• 200g pink snapper fillets (soak for 1 hour)
• 1 cup fresh corn kernels
• 1 red capsicum
• 1 green capsicum
• 1 yellow capsicum

• clean the capsicum while the fish is soaking
• slice it and let it run through the machine
• do the same with the parsley, the onion and the garlic
• now pour the unabsorbed lemon juice into a cup
• then mix the fish with all the other ingredients in a salad bowl
• season with salt, pepper and the remaining lemon juice

Preparation time: 12 min
Yields: 2 serves

Preparation hints:
I have found tuna, salmon and snapper to be the most suitable varieties of fish for raw use, but many other fish are just as healthy when eaten raw. Some people prefer the fish to soak for only 5-10 min; in that case, the original fish flavor stays stronger. Always try to buy fresh and unpolluted fish for a raw fish dish as the quality of the fish plays a major role in taste and safety when eaten raw.

Berries have a very strong flavor in general. They are very healthy as they help blood to stay alkaline. In Europe, berries are picked in the forests by people out walking which makes these fruits cheap to eat and a pleasure to acquire.

Preparation hints:
Use ripe, not overripe ones because they create a funny taste with the barley. Use 2 oranges if you haven’t got enough juice.

Bircher sun is of high nutritional value because of the dried fruits and sprouts. It is great for winter days when you want to start the day with something more substantial.
 
Ingredients:

Machine set up:
• First place the Living Juicer Mincing Strainer into the drum and onto the screw. Attach the drum cap onto the end of the drum by turning it counter clockwise until you feel it sits firmly. Then screw the Mincing Nozzle onto the drum cap turning it counter clockwise onto notch 2.
• Place a big bowl under the Pulp Discharge Outlet in order to catch the paste.
• Always be sure to start the machine before you enter anything into the Guide and keep the machine running until finished.

Preparation instructions:

Yields: 2-3 serves

Preparation hints:
Another way of preparing this muesli is to add the soaked nuts into the paste at the end instead of mincing them as well.

Berry Bircher is great if you soak it over night or make an extra portion for the next morning. Mind you, My Berry Bircher muesli has never made it to the next day. Usually it seduces just about everyone and instead of making lunch and dinner, Berry Bircher will do quite nicely!

• Place a big bowl under the machines Pulp Discharge Outlet in order to catch the paste.
• Always be sure to start the machine before you enter anything into the Guide and keep the machine running until finished.

Preparation instructions:
• first let the berries run through the guide
• then mix them well with the oats and the amaranth before you do anything else (if you feel you need to), moisten the mixture more with a little bit of water

You can soak the hazelnuts and the raisins for an hour or so before you make the muesli which makes them much smoother.

The Bircher Muesli originated in Europe and I like to take it along to any country I visit.
It leaves endless spaces for variation and is always a delight. It is filling and light at the same time.

Ingredients:
• ½ cup millet hulls
• 1 cup rolled oats
• ½ cup nut mix including: brazil nuts, raisins, sunflower seeds, pepitas and almonds
• 4-5 dried apricots
• 1 apple
• 1 pear
• 1 avocado
• for sweetening if needed use 1 teaspoon of honey

 Machine set up:
• First place the Living Juicer Mincing Strainer into the drum and onto the screw. Attach the drum cap onto the end of the drum by turning it counter clockwise until you feel it sits firmly. Then screw the Mincing Nozzle onto the drum cap turning it counter clockwise onto notch 2.
• Place a big bowl under the Pulp Discharge Outlet in order to catch the paste.
• Always be sure to start the machine before you enter anything into the Guide and remember to keep the machine running until finished.

Preparation instructions:
• first let the sliced apples and pears run through the guide
• then let ¾ of a cup nut mix run through and catch it in the same bowl
• now cut up the apricots and the avocado into small pieces
• then mix the fruit mash, the nutty paste, the remaining nut-mix, oats and millet together with the cut fruit
• stir well and let it soak for 10 min
• eat

Preparation time: 8 min
Yields: 2 serves

Preparation hints:
After making the fruit mash, you don’t have to clean the machine before making the nutty paste. After making the nutty paste, I do the following:  open the machine step by step, first the nozzle then pull out the strainer. By doing this I catch the left over juice into my bowl which is great for soaking the muesli. Bircher muesli can be soaked over night to really give this dish the impression of fresh nuts and grains as well as making the unique tastes really come out.
