"Rawtatouille"

Oh word play. Raw plus ratatouille ... "Rawatouille ". Reminds me of my Christian ska zine in high school... "Skallelujah". But THAT is a tangent best not to go into...

Here is my best attempt at creating this comfort food in a raw version. For best results leave the vegetables on the counter to come to room temperature, so you don't have that refrigerator chill. But don't worry, the spicy heat of the cayenne will warm you up as well!

2 medium-sized tomatoes
2 carrots
2 medium-sized zucchini
1/4 cup of diced onion
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon coconut aminos
1 table spoon hemp milk
1 teaspoon nutritional yeast
2 teaspoons paprika
1/2 teaspoon of chipotle pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
pink Himalayan salt to taste

In a food processor or blender, put one tomato, one carrot, one zucchini, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, coconut aminos, hemp milk, nutritional yeast, paprika, chipotle pepper, cayenne pepper, and salt. Mix until smooth. Transfer to large bowl and add diced onion. Dice the remaining tomato and add to the bowl. Using a mandolin finely slice the remaining carrot and zucchini and add to the bowl. Mix well with a large spoon and allow to sit about 10 to 15 minutes to absorb flavor and become tender before serving.
