Nut balls
1 cup raw almonds
1 cup raw sunflower seeds
1 cup coconut
½ cup raw cashews
½ cup raw pepitas
½ cup raw hazelnut
½ cup raw sesame seeds
¾ cup raw honey
¾ cup tahini
Chop all the nuts finely or grind in a processor. Place nuts on a tray
in a moderate oven and roast for 10 minutes, turning frequently.
Remove from oven and add coconut to nut mixture. Combine honey and
tahini together and add to nuts. Add more tahini if the mixture is
still a little crumbly. Roll into balls and roll in extra coconut.
Very yummy!

500g cooked chickpeas
6 tbsp cold water
2 cloves crushed garlic
150g g tahini paste
2 tbsp olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon
1 ½ tsp sea salt
1tsp cumin

Spinach Dip
¾ cup sunflower seeds
1 tomato
1 avocado
½ cup water
Juice of 1 lemon
¼ cup of fresh parsley
1 tbsp tahini
2 tsp onion powder
½ tsp mustard powder
1tsp sea salt
3 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp dill weed
Pinch cayenne
1 bunch spinach or silverbeet
Pre soak sunflower seeds for at least 6 hours. Process sunflower seeds
with the rest of the ingredients (Except for spinach) in a blender.
Spinach can be chopped then added at end, or simply added to mixture
towards end of processing for a finer blend. Variation: Make a “veggie
dip” by adding grated carrot, finely chopped capsicum, celery, and
sweet onion.
