In today's recipe video I didnt actually have 100% success with this idea, however I know I'm right on the cutting edge of making this happen! The concept is to get raw vegetables to have the same taste and consistency as steamed vegetables. The method we used was soaking broccoli in warm/hot water not going beyond 115 degrees, for twenty minutes. Then you drain the water, put the broccoli in a ziplock bag and freeze it in a freezer for a few days. Then you take the broccoli out and soak it in the same kind of warm water for twenty minutes again. You can do this back and forth a number of times from freezer to warm water if you like, however one time may possibly be sufficient.This technique worked amazingly to bring the broccoli closer to a steamed vegetable consistency, but there's one last final step that we didnt do in the video, which I believe was what left our broccoli a bit "soggy". After the last warm water soaking, its critical to dehydrate the broccoli so that all the soak water evaporates off. Furthermore, the dehydration I believe may also take this dish even closer to tasting more like steamed vegetables. A little more experimentation could happen here to perfect this concept, however I feel we're on to something big here! We had a raw broccoli dish and the broccoli wasnt rock hard like regular raw broccoli!You dont really have to watch the video as I already revealed the concept here above, but if youd like to have some fun and join me as Im goofing off here for 21 minutes, it will be a lot of fun!Want to come to our next raw food retreat?http://www.therawfoodretreat.com/Subscribe for new weekly videos:https://www.youtube.com/user/TheRawFoodWorld?sub_confirmation=1Watch Matt LIVE on Tuesday's @ 8:00 PM EST and #AskMattMonarch anything here:http://news.therawfoodworld.com/live/MORE VIDEOS: https://www.youtube.com/user/TheRawFoodWorldTHE RAW FOOD WORLD STORE: http://www.therawfoodworld.com/POSITIVE NEWS: http://news.therawfoodworld.com/TV SHOW: http://news.therawfoodworld.com/raw-food-world-tv-show/FOLLOW MATT MONARCH and THE RAW FOOD WORLD:Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/RawFoodWorldTwitter - https://twitter.com/MattMonarchInstagram - http://instagram.com/therawfoodworldPinterest - https://www.pinterest.com/therawfoodworld/Google+ - https://plus.google.com/+TheRawFoodWorldtrfw/postsLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/pub/matt-monarch/7/a96/4b1MySpace - https://myspace.com/mattmonarchSoundCloud - https://soundcloud.com/therawfoodworldiTunes - https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/live-hangouts-matt-monarch/id979085810
