Raw Nut Meat
This is a simple, quick to make meal that will give you bounds of nutrition in a mouthful. It can be made in advance and stored for several days in the fridge. Again, you can vary the quantities and the ingredients to make your own special dish.
Please note - this is a simple recipe - so all measurements are simple - have fun!
What you need
1 cup cashew nuts
1 cup almonds (soaked over night if you can)
a large handful of shelled hemp seeds
2 large carrots (roughly chopped)
1 small bulb of fennel (roughly chopped)
2 stalks of celery (roughly chopped)
1/2 cup fresh parsley (use less if you use dried)
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon tahini (sesame seed paste)
pinch of Himalayan
rock salt (or Celtic sea salt)
Please note - you may need a little water if you have not soaked the almonds
optional - try adding onion or other vegetables such as courgette.
What you need to do
Put all the nuts and vegetables into a food processor and process until minced up.
Add the remaining ingredients and process to combine.
Then make the mixture into a loaf shape. Store in the fridge until you are ready to eat.
You can serve this at room temperature with steamed veg or you can serve it with salad and winter sprouts such as (my favourite) lentils.
Why not try replacing the almonds with Brazil nuts - or the tahini with a nut or seed butter - or even making it a seed loaf. You could also ring the changes with the herb flavours try oregano or rosemary. I would love to hear what you come up with - perhaps even a photo of your handy work!
