Playful Coriander Toast with Spinach Dip
Makes: 12 pieces
Chef Matthew Kenney is a well known raw food chef and has several restaurants all over the world. His food is so glorious and vibrant, you feel good just looking at it. I took a cooking course from him and this is one of the recipes we made–so beautiful and delicious. I still had to “Garden of Eydie-it” by eliminating oil and sugar. It’s so good! Make the coriander toast a day or two before you want to serve it. Make it an artistic endeavor, creating pieces of art on each toast.
Equipment needed: Dehydrator, teflex or silpat mat if cooking in an oven (see Cook’s Notes)

- Dehydrate the toast:
- Set the temperature to 115℉
- Spread a thin layer, ⅛”-¼” thick on teflex and score into 2 x 3 ½-inch pieces. Place in the dehydrator and set for 4 hours. Flip the toast over and finish cooking for another 6-8 hours

Cook's Notes: To use an oven, set the temperature to the lowest setting. Spread the coriander dough on a silpat mat, Cook for 4 hours then flip and cook until crispy, Check for doneness every hour or so.
