INGREDIENTS
Buckwheat Crust
• 1 cup buckwheat, sprouted
• ¼ cup olive oil
• ½ cup walnuts, soaked overnight and drained
• 3 carrots, roughly grated
• 1 tsp dried oregano
Method
To sprout buckwheat, soak one cup of buckwheat in water overnight.
Drain (the water will be slimy, so drain and rinse several times), place onto tray and cover with a wet towel. Ensure the towel is wet all the time and place onto a warm spot until tails are one centimetre long. This will take one to two days.
Place the sprouted buckwheat, carrots, oregano, walnuts and olive oil in the food processor and pulse until a mash is achieved.
With a cake ring, form into six four-inch squares on a sheet of baking paper and dehydrate at 55°C in a dehydrater, or oven, until the tops are dry. Remove from the sheet and continue to dehydrate until mostly dry but not too brittle.
Marinated Mushrooms
and Onions
• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup onions, sliced thin
• ¼ cup olive oil
• ¼ cup Shoyu soya sauce
• 2 tbsp agave syrup
Method
Toss together mushrooms, onions, olive oil, Shoyu, syrup and marinate for four hours.
Dehydrate at 55°C for four to five hours.
Tomato Sauce
• 1 small clove garlic
• 1 cup semi-dried tomatoes
• ¼ cup olive oil

Cashew Cheese
• ¾ cup cashews, soaked overnight, drained
