Raw Stuffed Chili Relleno

Hi all, I have decided to revive this blog, and even though I will try to get some new music into this blog, I am currently focused on more art and my recent transition to a primarily raw food lifestyle. To that end, here is the recipe and photos from the Raw Stuffed Chili Rellenos we had last night. This recipe makes ~ 8 stuffed halves. I made only six and enjoyed the stuffing on some sprouted tortillas.
1 - 2 cups Raw Nut Cheese
1 Bunch Cilantro
1/2 White Onion
1 Zucchini
1 Red Bell Pepper
1 Carrot ( this one came out of the garden a surprise harvest)
1 Tomato
2 cloves Garlic
fresh Oregano to taste
1 Jalapeño minced ( again to taste I like some spice)
1 Lime (Juiced)
2 pinches of Celtic Seas Salt
 First Start with some choice Rellenos (organic if you can find them) I try to look for ones that will make good boats for the stuffing.
Seed and slice in half. Since they need to be in the dehydrator for ~ 8 - 10 hours, I went ahead and put the halves in. Now to make the stuffing. Put the Zuchinni, Onion, Bell Pepper, Carrot, Tomato, and Garlic through your juicer using the blank plate. We use the Sunkist brand. Its a great masticating juicer.
Once you have run the veggies through, you have a pulpy mixture like this.
Now its time to make some nut cheese. To make the cheese soak half cup of Macadamia nuts, and half a cup of soaked Cashew nuts. ( minimum 4 hrs. ) Add the nuts into your Vitamix, or other high powered blender, with your choice of Bell Pepper ( I chose yellow ) a pinch of Sea Salt, 1/2 half Jalapeño, 1/4 bunch of finely chopped Cilantro, a few pinches of Ground Cumin. Blend using your tamper to ensure all the nuts are blended. Take care in not letting the Vitamix cook the Cheese.
Mix these two together with a spatula, and stuff your relleno chili halves.
Place in the Dehydrator for a minmum of 6 hrs. (at ~115 degrees) Serve with Guacamole and Salsa to complete. ( i will not be giving away Dagger Debs Salsa recipe ) :) I hope you enjoy this and the upcoming Raw dishes. Cheers PRP
