Savoury RAW No-Meat-Balls
This is a fave recipe of mine that I have been making for nearly a decade for both myself and my clients. Perfect atop a bowl of zuchini noodles or crumbled into a taco, this no-meat meat is always a hit!
Ingredients:
1 cup raw sunflower seeds ½ cup + 1 tbsp raw almond butter 4 sun-dried tomatoes, soaked and chopped
3 tbsp fresh basil, shredded
1 tbsp nutritional yeast 1 clove of garlic 1 tsp dried thyme 1 tsp dried oregano 1 tsp olive oil
Pinch cumin sea salt to taste
Combine all ingredients in food processor and blend until the mixture reaches a texture similar to ground meat.
Scoop the mixture out by into heaping teaspoons and form each meatball. Try not to over-roll them; we are going for “rustic” Italian here!
This mix can be served as balls over raw zucchini pasta as seen here, but it can also be a great vegetarian stand-in for any recipe you’d use ground meat. Try it as a taco or sandwich filling, a base for a raw chili, or as a crunchy topping for salad or soup! This protein-packed flavour blend pairs well with marinara sauce, cashew sour cream or pesto!
