Monica,

Your curry sounds super! yummy.. I've never been really big on squashes but I'm going to try this recipe this week; maybe this is a way I can work squash into my repertoire. Do you parboil your potatoes and/or squash before sauteing??

To continue on the theme of RAW pies / tortes, here a few tested goodies!; all raw all organic

[I recommend using a shallow fluted torte pan; serving is easier, display is ideal, and portions are not too thick/rich]


Raw Chocolate Mouse Pie / Torte

Crust

2 cups pecans + 1 cup walnuts (soaked overnight then dehydrated); this makes a softer crust, for more crunch use the almond or almond/pecan recipes below
4 medjool dates
1-2 tbsp coconut oil (refrigerated so that it is solid/like butter)

Filling

2 thai baby coconuts (just the meat)
1/2 cup medjool dates
1/2 cup raw cacau
2 tbsp coconut oil (refrigerated so that it is solid/like butter)
3 tbsp raw honey

put ingredients for crust into food processor and pulse (do not blend) lightly together
form your crust into fluted torte pan and refrigerate for one hour
process the ingredients for filling and then pour into your crust
top/decorate with raw shredded coconut and pecan pieces
