MJ - It really isn't a brand...it's an artisanal type that I picked up from a boutique in Positano. There's only a sticker that reads "Famiglia di Mezzeo, olio di oliva con limone". You can get others, though, at any gourmet market and Whole Foods has good ones.

PS I forgot to mention that I am greek also and grew up with my yiayia living with us. She was a master gardener (and sewer, and cleaner LOL) and was an amazing person. I read about your family on your home page and forgot to mention this to you. Peace, andra

Devastatingly yummy, thanks!

Should I have ground the nibs before blending? My sauce has little bits of nibs in it.

I am fairly new to your site and have been a lurker. I recently had a health crises but got lucky that my major surgery was successful and the pathology reports came back benign. I have been trying to transition to a healthier, unrefined diet. All or nothing approaches do not work for me, as I also have anxiety issues and get very stressed with my own perceptions of 'failure' LOL. So I appreciate your balanced and level headed approach. After all, the Okinawans live into the 100's and they are not rigid. They eat a high vegetable based diet that is unrefined. So I am trying to incorporate raw into my life and what is not raw is very unrefined and balanced. This may not work for everybody but so far I am doing well. AND, this was the very topic on the GetFresh blog--different philosophies of raw foods. Anyway, sorry for the ramble. Just wanted to stop in and say that I love your blog and that you have somebody who is following, nodding and smiling, but may not be posting a lot of comments :) andra

I think we all tend to be hard on ourselves and create too many rules. Let me know how you like it if you make it :)

Glad I could help, Esther! Eating living foods is not about being perfect, just eating more naturally! Every change makes a difference :)

Thanks for this post! This is a great reminder for me seeing as I tend to get overzealous in my efforts to have a mainly raw diet. This dish is beautiful. I'll definitely try it.

Thanks again for this wonderful and encouraging post!

i've done something similar with a cooked whole grain pasta topped with a chunky raw tomato or red pepper sauce, with additional veggies! yummy. thank you julie, for "giving permission" to transition, or incorporate a craving. too many make "newbies" feel like failures unless they're 100% raw all the time.
