The only thing steamed in this recipe is Beans.
Tip: Keep a good enough quantity of Lentils soaked and sprouted in the freezer. This will come in handy for recipes such as these which are very quick to make if you are very hungry.
Ingredients(Measurements) :
1. 1 cup sprouted beans.I have used Vaal here (Fava bean , Hyacinth Beans, Windsor bean , Horse beans).
2. 2 Bunches Romain Lettuce.
3. 1 Avocado.
4. 1/4 Onion.
5. 10 thin slices of yellow Beet.
6. Alfalfa Sprouts.
7. Salt to taste.
8. Pepper to taste.
9. 1 Tbsp oil.
Preparation:
1. Steam lentils until cooked (Usually takes 15-20 minutes).
2. Cut Avocado into long medium-thick slices.
3. Wash the lettuce and pat dry / put in the dehydrator for 5 minutes at lowest temperature. I found the if I dehydrate green just to let the water evaporate, I eat them more. They look more fresh and crunchier rather than wilted.
4. Cut Onion into thin long slices.
5. Take a leaf of lettuce and fill with Avocado slices, Lentils, Beet slices, Onion slices, Sprouts and do so for each leaf.
6. Sprinkle salt, pepper, oil.

Sea vegetables are superfoods. Soil of mother earth is being de-nutritioned by our practices. Luckily ocean remains untouched to an extent and provides extremely nutritious superfoods in the form of sea vegetables. The contents of minerals in sea water are very close to the contents of minerals of human blood.
The smell of these is gross for many. There are ways to get around it. Our recipes will show you how.
Ingredients(Measurements) :
1. 2 Tomatoes
2. 1 Tbsp Coconut butter
3. 1 Tsp Grated Ginger
4. 1 Clove Garlic
5. 1 Tsp Cumin Seeds
6. 1 Tsp Coriander Seeds
7. Pinch of Turmeric
8. Salt to taste.
9. 2 Strips of Kombu or any equivalent quantity.
10. 1/2 Soup Bowl hot water.
Preparation:
1. Break/Cut sea vegetable into small thin pieces and soak them for 15 minutes. If you do not like the smell of sea vegetables soak them longer in the refrigerator for few hours. On top of that , this recipe magically hides the smell totally.
2. Pour all ingredients into Blender except sea vegetables.
2. Pour the soaked sea vegetable along with water into the blender and keep a low speed. You do not want to puree the sea vegetables. It should only get finely chopped.
Serves :2
