... I haven't tried it but believe it would work much the same with carrots etc. This sauce recipe works well on it's own or for a tasty tweak that I made today with the leftovers, crumble some feta and add chopped tomato through the sauce whilst hot and stir until the feta has gone creamy.
Serves 3 (sauce only)
Ingredients:
1 large zucchini per person for your "pasta"
half a whole cauliflower, broken into smaller florets
2 whole red radishes, finely diced
1/2 a cup of vegetable stock
3 medium garlic cloves, left whole and unpeeled
1 red onion, finely diced
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
2 tbsp nutritional yeast (optional)
70ml coconut milk, or enough to make it go creamy in the food processor (optional)
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp Dijon mustard
Himalayan salt & pepper
Preheat your oven to 200 celsius. Using a vegetable shredder, run along the lengths of the zucchini until you get strands that look a little like spaghetti, once you hit the seedy inside of the zucchini turn around and start from the other side- use the skin, do not peel them. It should look something like this-
Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil and add the cauliflower, radish and red onion. Boil until the cauliflower and radish are soft. (you could also steam them) Drain and add to your food processor. Pulse until they resemble breadcrumbs then gradually add the vegetable stock until the mixture turns creamy. You may not need to use all the stock. Add the oregano, onion powder, garlic powder, dijon mustard, salt and pepper and nutritional yeast to taste and pulse until well mixed. At this point if you want to add the coconut milk to make it creamier add in, if not it tastes just as nice without. Remove the garlic from the oven and using a garlic press, mince into the mixture. Pulse until everything is well combined. Pour the mixture back into a saucepan and keep warm on a low heat. Bring another saucepan of water to the boil and add the zucchini strips. Cook until just tender - be careful not to overcook it, they cook quickly.
Arrange your zucchini pasta on a plate and pour some of your sauce over the top. Voila! deliciousness...
