Welcome to week 3 of the medicinal cooking competition! So far we have awarded $500 in prizes over the past two weeks with two great themed challenges. This week its time to try something different! This recipe is very simple, yet delicious and very nutritious. Your challenge is to follow the recipe as below and present your dish as you would like. Most importantly is for you to see how quick it is to make, and whether or not you enjoy it! This is of course a very light meal, and could be a side dish along with something else, or else you could satisfy yourself just with this if you are used to eating lightly.
I hope you try this recipe out, and take a nice photo of the dish before eating. If for any reason you wish to replace any of the ingredients for whatever reason please feel free to do so. The main idea is to eat a dish that is mostly raw food, with a tasty dressing. Raw food provides benefits including weight loss, improved vitality, increased energy, improvement to chronic diseases, improved overall health and a reduced impact on the environment. Not only that but Raw foods are better quality, have more flavour than cooked foods, take very little preparation, can reverse or stop the advance of many chronic diseases, Heartburn, gas, indigestion, and constipation can become things of the past, and more besides.
Its only when you have tried a raw food diet that you start to understand how much what we eat effects our mind and general state of being. Please let us know how you get on in the comments, and whether you have tried a raw food diet before.
Thai Lettuce Springrolls With Peanut Satay Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 head of lettuce (leaves for the cups)
- ½ cup batonnets of red and yellow capsicum (batonnets are sticks of vegetables cut into a size roughly 6 cm x 6 mm x 6 mm)
- ½ cup sliced tomatoes (optional)
- ½ cup chopped unpeeled cucumbers
- ½ cup shredded cabbage (purple or regular)
For the Tangy Peanut Sauce
- ¾ cup roasted unpeeled peanuts
- ⅓ cup dry date (kharek) powder
- 2 whole roasted red chillies
- 2 tbsp tamarind (imli) pulp
- ½ tsp unrefined salt
Method
Grind all the dressing ingredients together in a grinder, along with a bit of water, until you obtain a smooth dressing. Massage this into the chopped vegetables, until well mixed. Spoon some of this mixture onto each lettuce leaf and roll. Serve. Enjoy.
Variation
You may also roll all the cut veggies up in the lettuce leaf and serve with the sauce on the side, to be used as a dipping sauce.
How does the taste compare to a plate of french fries?!

Hello, this experience with the rolls was very pleasant. At one time I had problems with being overweight and tried many ways of eating vegetables and greens. I can see that there are many ways to make them attractive and appetizing with this recipe, and without getting bored of eating healthy. It seems to me that eating raw vegetables is a way to help our body to regain the perfect balance and at the same time nourish itself. Thank you for allowing me to participate. This is my entry:
