Raw Buckwheat Pizza Recipe

Good afternoon everyone!

A raw food pizza is packed with nutrients, it tastes absolutely amazing and it’s energising as well. I’m very happy to have this treat every now and then. I’ve noticed that our vegetarian and vegan students love this recipe too, as it fits right in with their food philosophy.

Anyway, I thought it was a bit selfish of me to keep this recipe all to myself, so I am sharing it with you today.

Enjoy it 🙂

Buckwheat Crust

1 cup buckwheat, sprouted

1. Sprout buckwheat: Soak 1 cup buckwheat in water overnight. Drain (the water will be slimy so drain and rinse a couple of times). Rinse 3 times a day until little tails sprout. Use when tails are the same length as the seed.
2. Place buckwheat and olive oil in the food process and pulse until a mash is achieved.
3. Add walnuts and pulse until well blended.
4. Add carrots and italian spices, blend well.
