MEDITERRANEAN WRAP WITH RED PEPPER
HUMMUS (BEAN-FREE)

Photo credit: Tyler Golden.
From the book Ani's Raw Food Essentials by Ani Phyo. Excerpted by arrangement with Da Capo Lifelong, a member of the Perseus Books Group. Copyright (c) 2010.
MAKES 4 WRAPS
This recipe uses collard leaves for wrapping up vegetables, such as spinach, zucchini, black olives, and avocado, with a delicious Red Pepper Hummus.
2 large collard leaves
2 cups spinach, washed well
½ recipe Red Pepper Hummus (page 184)
1 ripe avocado, pitted and sliced
½ cup zucchini, cut into long, thin spears
¼ cup pitted, chopped black olives
Cut the leaves away from the thick center stem of each collard leaf to make a total
of four flat pieces.
Top each collard section with spinach leaves. Then, spoon Red Pepper Hummus across the bottom edge of the shorter width of each leaf. Top with avocado, zucchini, and black olives. Roll up into a wrap and serve.
Will keep for up to a day at room temperature, or store for a day or two in the
fridge.
RED PEPPER HUMMUS (BEAN-FREE)
MAKES 2 CUPS
This hummus is made using tahini, as in traditional recipes, but instead of chickpeas, I use red bell pepper and a pinch of cumin for a richer flavor. Sesame powder helps absorb some of the excess liquid from the juicy bell pepper.
½ cup sesame seeds, ground into a powder
2 teaspoons chopped garlic
1 teaspoon sea salt
2 cups seeded and diced red bell pepper
1/3 cup tahini
¼ cup lemon juice
½ teaspoon ground cumin
In a food processor, process the sesame seeds, garlic, and salt into small pieces.
Add the remaining ingredients and process until smooth.
Will keep for 2 days in the fridge.
I have already made this yummy recipe, and it is fantastic!
Huge thanks to lovely raw Chef Ani Phyo for allowing me to share this amazing recipe, and for creating this incredible book.

Thanks for that recipe..yum:) I'm in the great white north so I'm not in the contest, but good luck to everyone!
from yesterday - I would love to try the mock tuna!!
thanks for hosting this great giveaway!!
and as far as what recipes I'd like to see in an un-cook book - entrees - ANY entrees! Seems most of what I see is desserts and drinks. I need more 'main' dish besides salad type food!
THANKS!
I'm a follower of your blog!!! :)
YAY!!!!!
Thanks again!
I would love to try that mock tuna! It looks so tasty!!!!
What I really liked from here website is the Simple Rosemary Oregano Noodle Salad. I am going to make that for sure!!
I would like to see more information about a detox, going from vegan to raw or carnivore to raw, etc.
I tweeted! http://twitter.com/singerinkitchen/status/15340086521
I like you 4th option! I was laughing out loud. :)
Hello! Just found your blog and am so excited to start following! I would LOVE to make the chocolate-banana ice cream and hazelnut sauuuccceee MMMMMM!!!!!
My favorite Ani recipe is her chocolate cake, which I blogged about just yesterday! It is INCREDIBLE. EVERYTHING of Ani's that I make is great!!!
Thanks for the contest :)
I would love to see more entrees, maybe a meatloaf or more of those hearty dinner dishes that my husband misses! These may be published in a book I don't have, but this is what we would LOVE to try! Also, I love really simply recipes that use the least amount of ingredients. I'm on a budget! So more of that would be nice, too!

#Rawfood people, the Happy Raw Kitchen is giving away Ani Phyo's Raw Food Essentials! Check it out: http://thehappyrawkitchen.blogspot.com/
I'm interested in trying the beanless hummus. Looks great! And one of my faves of Ani's is her sunflower/black sesame crackers.
I'm more interested in seeing quick, easy entree recipes. I get so busy that shortcuts are most welcome these days.
I also like raw info in addition to recipes. And I'll take uncookbooks in any form.

blog stalker, er I mean follower! ;)
I did #4! Oh wait, it was just a joke? hmpf! ha ha! (you can delete this comment if you want)
The red bell pepper hummus was one of the things I wanted to try and them bam, there it is! I also really, really want to try making the bacon!
I want recipes for easy (mostly) fast entrees. Snacks aren't to hard to figure out for me, it's actual meals that I have trouble with.
I'd like to try making the mock tuna that you blogged about yesterday. I've never had one of Ani's books, so I check out her web page. The mango breakfast knocked me out...I want some!!
I'd love to see more quick and easy meals in raw food cookbooks. I like life low-maintenance. ;-) I'm interested in all types of raw food info too. And, while I prefer real books I'm going to have to learn to live with e-books overseas or the hubs will have a sore back from carrying all my stuff. ;-)
Unfortunately I cannot compete for this giveaway, I'm from Romania :( but 10x 4 the free wonderful recipe. Good luck to the contestants!
Hugs!
Just found your blog and I love it! :) I would definitely make those onion rings WOWZA!
I tweeted @easyecotogo
I like to see a short ingredient list of familiar foods in an uncookbook, that's why I love Ani's books so much! I like print books, ebooks get on my nerves! ;) I want to hold it!!
Tweeted: LaurenGinger, I am subscribing too!
I tweeted about the giveaway @fayinagirl
BTW...the #4 entry option..cracks me up! ;-)
Gosh can I choose them all..he he! okay well the one would be Aioli Mayonnaise. I have made Ani's Pineapple Icebox dessert..mm!
xoxo
I love raw sweets and desserts, but quick everyday meals would be nice. I like just the recipes and printed books are my favorite with lots of photo's.
Great questions!
xoxo
Follower, of course!
Dang it, I don't have any hot pick lipstick, but I could stand on my head facing west and whistle...lol!! Great fun! Thank you!
Oooo..those "cupcakes" look might tasty!

I've yet to buy an un-cookbook. But if I were to do it, I think I'd lean towards "quick and simple family foods."

I understand that I'm not in the running but I couldn't resist telling you that your versions of Ani's recipes look absolutely delicious - I'm definitely making some of these! :-)
I want to try the Med wrap and the hazelnut kream. My fav Ani recipe so far? Maybe those key lime bars from her dessert book :) I also like the cheese stuffed pepper.
It's kinda dull, but I really enjoy good salad dressing recipes. Some of the other recipes get too complicated, so I find keeping it simple to be easiest.
I forgot to mention in the last one that I like printed books.
So I'll combine that with - I follow your blog :)

I would love to try the Mock Tuna Salad. When going raw vegan, I had the hardest time giving up seafood especially since that what I love to eat! I manged to give it up and move on and be more healthier.
I love almost all of her deserts. I tried most of them and they are delicious. I do not feel guilty when I eat it. I love how you can also eat it for breakfast and still be comfortable with it. Being raw is awesome!
I would like to see more raw recipes. Anything raw is great! I prefer printed books so I can take it since I am always out about and people can enjoy the book

I have Ani's first book, and can't wait to get this one. I would love to try the buckwheat-battered "fried" onion rings, chipotle kale chips and eggplant bacon. I am in "transition" and I believe snacks like this will help me "stay the course".
My two favorite recipes from her first book are: Confetti Salad with Orange Cucumber Dressing, and Summer Berry Cobbler.
Everything looks so yummy, but I guess I would choose the onion rings or mock tuna. I made her pineapple ice box cake (not sure what book it is from, I got it off the internet) and it is very good. I served it on Memorial Day.
I have both print and e-format uncookbooks. Frankly, I much prefer the print. Maybe it's my age, but I don't really like reading on my computer screen :). I feel like I look at the screen too much as it is. Also, I especially prefer print recipe books because I don't want to carry my computer in the kitchen (which is tiny), or have to print out a recipe.
As far as what I most want in an uncookbook, it would be quick and easy everyday recipes. That is by far the most important to me. I don't really require that much background or lifestyle info anymore - I've read a lot of it. Just give me those straitforward, simple, and hopefully delicious recipes to help me keep going.
I subscribe to your blog. I really enjoy reading it!
I love your sense of humor. Love # four, though I'm mostly out of luck on the options:.
I would love to try the blt club from your post yesterday, and the fresh tomato chili with taco nut meat from Ani's website.
What I like to see in an un-cookbook - more entrees. That seems to be the consensus here. There are whole books of desserts and drinks, but the main meal is what I need the most recipes for. Also, I prefer not to see a lot of info other than the recipes, as almost every book has that and it gets redundant.
Love your blog, btw :)
Chocolate-Banana Ice Kream with Hazelnuts served on Flourless Cake with Nutella Hazelnut Sauce - That's the one I SO want to try!!!
And as for a fave, I have never made any of Ani's stuff,, but I'd like to try that salad with the wild rice and corn. It looks awesome (-:
In a book (real one, not e-book) I like super quick entree recipes that are truly yummy, and that feature easy-to-find ingredients. ^__^
I'm following you! You're on my side bar of favourites (-: Thanks for the giveaway! I'm so excited!
(: (: (:
i want to try making the flourless cakes! they look so delicious and im a huge chocolate lover...
in un-cookbooks, i like quick everyday recipes! i also like a lot of nutritional info, info about health benefits of foods, etc. (practical information). i do buy un-cookbooks and definitely prefer printed books over e-books. i have raw food real world and everyday raw.
i mentioned your giveaway on my blog! here: http://cinnamonbums.wordpress.com/2010/06/03/tutti-frutti/
i'd love to try ani's eggplant bacon recipe. mmm!
I'm so excited about this give away. From the beautiful photos you've shared, I'd love to make the mock tuna. After checking out Ani's site, I'm really salivating over her Fresh Tomato Chili with Taco Nut Meat. (Entry 1)
I purchase uncook books, and prefer quick and simple recipes that appeal to my family. I like both e-books and printed books. (Entry 2)
I shared your blog entry on Facebook. (Entry 3)
I will buy uncook books if they are really good and easy to do. E-books are great too!
We LOVE desserts as long as they are easy to follow, like Ani's recipes.
There is always room for learning more about raw foods, so bring it on!!

Thanks Again!!
All the recipes you've made looks deeelish!
While Im in Canada, I do have a US address I can use for this contest.
I would love to try the coconut bacon and the battered zucchini.... my mouth is watering!
Entry #2
I definitely love unique recipes in an uncook book. Something I haven't seen before - both sweet and savory.
I prefer printed books, but don't mind ebooks.
Mmmm...the buckwheat battered onions are calling my name ...but all of it is, really! lol! Yum! :) I recently made her trail mix cookies and banana bread bisquits...both were sooo good. I love her raw taco meat!
I love the simplicity of e-books! But also get hard print copies too. I like ideas for easy entrees for kids and fam... using simple ingredients. :) The red pepper hummus sounds good- the dish looks great!
All the recipes you made look amazing, especially the wraps and the desserts!
I love raw cookbooks (at least ones that have photos because you get to see all the colorful presentation). I like ideas for easy soups, salads, dips, etc. with maybe a couple fancy or time-consuming recipes. Snack recipes are good too. I have a couple raw cookbooks already and prefer to have the printed version so I don't have to have my computer in the kitchen to use it!
I LOVE Ani Phyo, she was my first inspiration in raw foods and I am super excited for her new book! I must say that I am really interested to try her mock tuna salad recipe. It looks delicious and I am looking to find recipes that are a bit more calorie dense. Looks amazing!
P.S. My favorite Ani recipe is her stuffed Anaheim Peppers with Mole sauce, they are delicious!
And I must say that when I am searching for good raw cookbooks, I look for relevance. Not everyone has a great food processor (though I recommend it!) or dehydrator or juicer or ice cream maker. So I look for recipes that are simple but flavorful.

I want to try the battered zucchini
I would like to see more recipes that are delicious but quick to make. I like both ebooks and regular uncook books.
I posted on facebook :)
I would love to try the mock tuna salad! (as well as everything else...)
I like to see quick and easy meals for every day.
I do buy un-cookbooks and have several. I prefer printed books with nice photos. =)
I SO want to try the BLT sandwiches with coconut bacon! Sounds AMAZING.
I am really interested in low-fat, high-veggie recipes (raw vegan, of course), with really creative ways of using veggies. (like zucchini in zucchini 'muffins' or something)
thanks for doing this giveaway!

recipe i would love to try? mock tuna salad! the texture just looks so yummy, i am dying to know how she makes it!
What do i look for in an un-cookbook? i really appreciate all of the raw food info, and i love recipes that i can use to share raw foods with friends, whether it be entertaining, or at a potluck. sharing info about the lifestyle is always good!
Entry #1: I think I'd like to see the Chipotle Kale Chips recipe the most! My favorite recipe of hers is the Brazil Broccoli mash.
Entry #2: In an uncookbook I am looking for easy everyday recipes that are people's 'go-to'. Stuff that they REALLY make on a frequent basis even if its really simple but they just LOVE it! I also like looking at people's 'daily eats'.
I would especially like to try the onion rings and eggplant "bacon", but it really does all sound good!
What a wonderful Law of Attraction story this could be, well actually it already is! I've been seeing soo much on Ani lately, my brother bought me her dessert book for my birthday, I've been seeing her new book Raw food essentials on all the blogs, and on top of that I've been wanting to make raw pancakes but haven't ever since I became raw. So the recipe I'd most love to try is of course her pancakes! and who knows maybe I just might get too :)
Brazil Nut-Banana Pancakes with Blueberry Syrup and Sliced Bananas
I would love to try the Korean dumplings with dipping sauce. I teach in Korea for part of the year, and the cuisine is one of my favorite parts, but I'm eager to make healthier (raw vegan) versions of many things. Similarly, I can't wait to try Ani's Tom Yum soup--it's a perennial fave.
I would love to try most of them then decide with what to prepare for a daily servings.. More power!
