The most important raw food recipes that I have in my collection are for quick and easy main dishes that really satisfy. Wanting something a little spicy and a lot flavorful. I threw some ingredients in the food processor. Tasting as I went along, I came up with one of my favorites to date. Starting with the parsnip rice, I threw in a couple more veggies and topped it off with a spicy sauce. It is fun, fast and the flavors are great. Don’t be intimidated by the parsnip rice. The flavor is very mild and when combined with the other ingredients, makes a great meal.
Parsnips are full of vitamin C, have tons of fiber and are high in folic acid. They are a good source of niacin, magnesium, thiamine and potassium. They also have vitamins B6 and E.
Spicy Veggie “Stir Fry”
Rice:
- 2 C Chopped Parsnips
- 2 Carrots
- 1/2 C Pine Nuts
- 3/4 C Broccoli, Chopped
- 1/2 C Mushrooms, sliced
Finely chop parsnips, carrots, and pine nuts and place in bowl. If you are using a food processor to do this, you will want to do each separately. Combine with chopped broccoli and sliced mushrooms. (mushrooms not pictured)
Stir to combine.
Sauce:
- 1/4 C Olive Oil
- 1/3 C Sun dried Tomatoes (soft)
- 1 t. Chili Peppers (dried)
- 1 1/2 t. Curry Powder
- 1 T Nama Shoyu
- 1 T Agave (Optional)
Combine all ingredients in food processor, process until well combined. Stir into “rice mixture”.

Mmm, looks delicious! I haven’t tried parsnip rice yet — I usually do jicama — but am inspired to try parsnips
Parsnips or parsley? I assume you mean parsnips? (ingredient list) This looks delicious…will def. have to try it.
I have yet to try parsnip rice. But with a pic and recipe like this… I think I will be raw’cooking’ in the kitchen this weekend. Now to search your blog for some sweat raw treats for dessert.
This is a quick and easy treat! Looks like it has a great texture too. Printed and added to the recipe queue! <3
I think I have my lunch idea for tomorrow!
Love how you shared your “inner most creative thoughts”,
while creating this recipe for us dedidicated readers. I sense
how your “21 Day Raw Winter Challenge” has made your
website even more spectacular.

ROCK ON BABE!!!!!!!!!!
Must. Try. Soooooon.
You never cease to amaze Susan! I absolutely love what you do and your recipe is so vibrant. Makes me wanna lick my screen! LOL
I made your other ‘stir-fry’ recipe and really liked it. I’ll try this one and maybe my husband will try it with the extra spice! Thansk for all your recipes–every single one I’ve tried (and that is many of them!) have all been keepers!
This looks so good! I am on day one of a limeade fast, but I think I know what my lunch on day eleven is going to look like! Yum!
I love your recipes so much it is usually the first email to be opened.
I especially loved learning about your ‘rice’ dish and tried something
different due to availablity at the time. Rutabaga and turnips also
do very well. The rutabaga has a short ‘shelf life’ tho and goes
bitter in any leftovers. I love this take on raw. You are genius.
This is a great recipe–try adding a little shredded bok choy!!
You are truly amazing!!!!!
YUM!! I had this for breakfast today (it was supposed to be dinner, but it looked too good to leave alone). This is such a wonderful addition to my repertoire. I really love the spices you incorporated in this recipe. I am starting a 90 day raw food challenge today and your site was the first place I came. Can’t wait to come to another class! Kat
That’s some good lookin food! I haven’t tried parsnips for rice either but this looks worth a try. Thanks!
we love it!!
I am new to this way of eating. I can not wait to try your recipes. Your website is the best out there. Its amazing.
Will this taste the same with radish? We do not get parsnips here so I have no idea what they taste like! The picture looks amazing!
Radishes, per my experience are quite hot and spicy. Parsnips do not have much flavor. What else can you get?
Delish! My first attempt at your lovely recipes. This was amazing. So flavorful and simple enough that I didn’t make a disaster of it. lol.
It’s a keeper for me.
Hi Susan, What a lovely website. I’ve been perusing it over the last few days and have already tried this “Stir-Fry” and The Chia Fruit Salad. Both were really satisfying and flavorful. I’m trying to incorporate more raw into my diet and am always looking for interesting raw dishes. You’ve got a lot of great stuff here and I will check back often.
This looks gorgeous!
I’m still eating mostly SAD, but I just tried this and it’s amazing. More experiments with your blog’s recipes to come!
Great website! Beautiful photos and recipes! Just wondering how many people this serves? Thanks
Serves 3-4.
Oh my goodness!!!! I made this last night. It was easy to do and man! does it taste good!!! I had to fight my husband off from eating it all. I have never had parsnips before and they are wonderful! Thank you for sharing this great recipe!!!
This is SO good!!! I keep making it over and over again. Thanks for these great recipes!
Susan,
For sun dried tomatoes… 1/3 C Sun dried Tomatoes (soft) ; Do you make them soft by soaking them in water? If so, for how long? How long do you soak your pine nuts for?
This week my hubby and I had your broccoli and raisin salad. HE LOVES IT!!! Thank you so much for sharing your receipes with us.

I actually buy organic sun dried tomatoes in olive oil. There are no added preservatives and I really like the flavor. You would want to soak them until they are soft if you are using dry ones. Pine nuts, until soft…about 2 hours. Always rinse well when you are done.
