Gluten-Free Snack Recipe: Sour Cream and Onion Daikon Curls

by | 0 comments

On Sunday I hosted a living foods potluck dinner.  It was so much fun.  I thought I'd share a recipe that was so good, it was gone before dinner even started.    This recipe works well with macadamia nuts substituted for the cashews.  I tried a variation with sweet potatoes and carrots when I ran out of daikon and it was delicious.

Daikon is a great choice this time of year because it's such a powerful immune booster and mucous dissolver.

contributed by Gretchen Burk, Austin Texas

Equipment Needed: Dehydrator, Spiralizer or Vegetable Peeler and Blender

Ingredients

  • 2-3 large daikon radishes
  • 1 small or 1/2 medium onion
  • 1 tablespoon flat leaf parsley
  • 7-8 cloves garlic
  • 1 whole green onions 4 inches of the greens from another green onion
  • 3/4 cup cashews, soaked overnight and rinsed
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Ume Plum Vinegar (Oshawa brand, available at most natural grocers)
  • 3 1/2 tablesooons lemon juice
  • 1/2 – 1 teaspoon real salt or pink salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 – 1/2 cup water

Directions

  1. Put all ingredients except daikon and the extra green onion tops in blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Add extra water if needed.
  2. Pulse the extra green onion tops in to just break them up.
  3. Use the spiralizer on the ribbon setting to create long curls from the daikon.
  4. Add the onion sour “cream” mixture to the daikon to just coat. If you have extra, use it as a dip.
  5. Place the coated daikon on the mesh dehydrator trays and dehydrate for 12-24 hours to desired texture. They stay chewy.

Variation: use macadamia nuts instead of cashews.  Substitute sweet potatoes or carrots for the daikon.
