How to Prepare Raw Cannelloni in Marinara Sauce [Vegan]

To Make the Cannelloni:

Spread zucchini slices in a tray and sprinkle with a little salt and a drizzle of lemon juice. This marinade will make the slices more flexible for when you roll the cannelloni.
In a food processor, blend cashew nuts, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, and salt into a smooth paste.
Lay three zucchini slices side-by-side lengthwise, overlapping a bit to form a rectangle. Shape 2 tablespoons of cashew paste into a cylinder and place at a short end of the rectangle. Starting from filling end, roll zucchini to make the cannelloni. Repeat with remaining zucchini and paste.

To Make the Marinara Sauce:

Blend all the ingredients into a smooth sauce.

To Make the Brazil Nut Parmesan:

Mix ground Brazil nuts with tamari and dehydrate for about 2 hours at 108°F. If you don’t have a dehydrator you can use the oven at the lowest temperature possible.

To Assemble:

Pour some sauce on a plate and place 2 cannelloni at the center. Top with the chopped olives and Brazil nuts parmesan.
