Lj's Raw Date & Agave Balls

After a little more researching into Raw Food recipes I decided it was time to start experimenting  and  making up some of my own creations.

Ingredients

1 Cup of Dates

1/2 Cup Sultanas

1/2 Cup Sunflower Seeds

1/4 Cup Pumpkin Seeds

1/4 Cup of Coconut

4 Tablespoons of Agave Syrup

Extra Coconut for rolling

What to do

Pop the Sunflower seeds & Pumpkin Seeds into the food processor.

Process until fine but not powder...

Add the Coconut, Dates & Sultanas and process until combined.

Add the Agave Syrup and process until the mixture comes together like you can see

in the picture below. Using a teaspoon roll into balls and roll in coconut. Pop into the fridge!

No cook Worcestershire Sauce

After researching what seems like a hundred recipes I found a no cook recipe and modified it to suit what I already had floating around in my pantry. I love the idea of a no cook easy recipe that can be thrown together really quickly!

Ingredients:

1/2 Cup of Apple Cider Vinegar

2 tablespoons of Fish Sauce

2 Tablespoons of Honey

1 Tablespoon of Treacle

Juice of 1 Lime

1 Teaspoon of Cloves

1/2 Teaspoon of Onion Flakes

1 Clove of fresh Garlic

1/4 Teaspoon of Chilli Powder

What to do:

In a pestle and mortar grind the cloves, onion flakes and Chilli. Juice the lime, and add all of the ingredients into the bowl of a small food processor. Blend until smooth and pour into a bottle and keep in the fridge. It only makes a small amount so you could easily double the recipe but mix in a bigger processor or in a jug with a stick mixer. It would last about a month in the fridge, but I can't see it lasting that long! It's delicious. I'm leaving mine a few days before I use it to let the flavours infuse.

Above is the link for the recipe I started out with.

Ingredients:

1 Cup Fresh Basil Leaves and a few leaves of Flat Leaf Parsley

1/2 Cup Raw Pistachios

4 Tbs Virgin Olive Oil

2 Tbs Fresh Lemon Juice

2 Lge Cloves of Fresh Garlic

1/2 Tea Himilayan Sea Salt

Approx 10 Pieces of Sundried Tomato

(Best to chop up a little bit before throwing it in, makes it easier to process,

I've used the Roma Tomatoes I dried last week)

What to do:

Simply add everything into the bowl of a small  food processor. Blend until finely chopped.

I've never made Pesto without Parmesan and much to my surprise this recipe tastes FANTASTIC! Very proud of my first efforts... Now what I am going to do with it?
