Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup raw pumkin seeds
  • 3 cups raw cashews soaked for an hour or two
  • 10 sun-dried tomatoes soaked, soaking liquid reserved
  • 0.5 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1 tablespoon white miso
  • 2 tablespoons raw apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon adobo or onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon prepared mustard
  • 0.5 teaspoon mild chili powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon turmeric
  • dash cayenne pepper
  • 0.25 cup coconut oil or as needed
  • gomasio for rolling; toasted sesame seeds can also be used

Instructions
 

  • Drain the cashews and sun-dried tomatoes. Place the pumpkin seeds, cashews and the tomatoes in a food processor and pulse until they start to form a paste, scraping down the sides of the processor bowl as necessary. Add the rest of in the ingredients except the gomasio or sesame seeds and process until the mixture is smooth. Only use as much of the tomato-soaking water and coconut oil as needed to produce a thick paste.Refrigerate the mixture for a few hours before rolling. If your mixture is thick enough you may not need to refrigerate it. Working quickly, roll the paste into 1" balls. Spread the gomasio or sesame seeds about 1/4" thick on a small area of your work surface. Quickly roll the balls in the seeds to coat well. Serve as an appetizer or use to garnish a mixed salad.  (Recipe #595)
