marinate it in olive oil, lemon, salt, cumin, cayenne and cinnamon. people use nama shoyu instead of lemon and also add agave, but I dont use those ingredients. throw it in the dehydrator for a bit until warm and kinda chewy...or even dried if you like, that is tougher texture. makes a savory-sweet snack. or you can use that for a wrap filling or if you eat raw bread you can add a seed cheese sauce slice of tomato and make a yummy sammy. Matt Amsden serves a yummy one at Rawvolution.

I think you have to get the real meat of the coconut, preferably, but you can try it with dried flakes, it will just be a little more dry, so mix in some coconut water too. Let me know how it goes!! Cheers!!

hey....when it comes to "coconut meat", if a recipe calls for it, can it be dried flakes? Or....do I have to get a coconut and scrape it clean? Thanks!

Mango cheesecake! Blend the coconut meat with a juicy mango, some lime juice, honey or agave and vanilla. You can eat this as a pudding or make a cheesecake with a base of nuts and dates.
Yum!

I also love making raw pad Thai by slicing the meat into noodles.

Ice Cream! It's soo good. I add a little agave (or pure maple syrup) with bee pollen, raw cacoa nibs and ice; instead of using a banana I add the coconut meat.
You can mix fruits or add cocoa powder to change the flavor!
I can't think of any of the top of my head, but I know there are some "Asian" inspired dishes that call for coconut meat. If you're interested, comment back and I'll make a point to find them.

I like to use the young coconut meat with the juice as well as chopped dates for a yummy pudding. :)
