Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

Ingredients:

CRUST
2 cup soaked nuts (Almonds work well)
1 cup dates, (or less)
2 tablespoon agave or honey
1 teaspoon cinnamon
pinch cayenne
dash sea salt, (optional)
a handful of nut meal or shredded coconut
FILLING
4 cup rhubarb stalks, peeled, chopped to 1" lengths
¼ cup agave or honey
2 cup strawberries, chopped
¼ cup psyllium husk powder or other thickener
a few strawberries for garnish

Preparation:

Process soaked nuts, dates, agave or honey and spices in food processor until desired crust consistency is reached (a rough meal that sticks together easily when pressed). Sprinkle nut meal or shredded coconut into pie pan to keep crust from sticking. Press crust into pan.

Peel and chop rhubarb—can be used fresh or frozen—Blend in food processor until almost a slush (a few bigger bits can be nice). Add 1/4 cup agave or honey and mix. Chop about 2 cups of strawberries (if using fresh—if using frozen, let thaw and blend just enough to get medium-small pieces). Add chopped strawberries to rhubarb goop by hand, and stir in psyllium husk powder (or other thickener). I had to use more thickener because I used frozen fruit (juicier).

NOTE:
This pie will taste quite tart at first, but I found that by sitting/chilling overnight, the flavors combined and by morning the rhubarb had sweetened up a LOT. So, if you’re going to eat it right away, add more sweetener to taste, otherwise, give it a night to sweeten on it’s own before you add more honey/agave, else you chase away that lovely rhubarb bite that we love so much!
