Raw Sweet Potato Casserole

Creamy, slightly sweet casserole topped with walnuts. Yes, it's made with raw sweet potato and the texture isn't exactly like your typical sweet potato casserole, but I love it! Tweaked the original recipe from Herbs for Health magazine, which called for dehydrating the nuts. Prep time does not include soaking the nuts overnight.

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 cups pecans (let dry a bit on a paper towel) or 1 1⁄2 cups walnuts, soaked overnight, then drained (let dry a bit on a paper towel)
• 4  cups  peeled and chopped sweet potatoes
• 1⁄2 cup water
• 1⁄2 cup dates, soaked for about 20 minutes
• 1  teaspoon cinnamon
• 1  teaspoon vanilla (this is not a raw product)
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 cup honey

Directions

1. Put potatoes, 1/2 cup nuts, dates, cinnamon and vanilla in processor and puree till smooth.
2. Pour into a casserole dish.
3. In another bowl, mix the remaining 1 cup nuts with salt and honey, and sprinkle over the potato mixture.
4. I enjoyed this at room temperature, but still good straight out of the frig.
