NUT/SEED BURGERS

Makes 6 burgers

11/2 cups nuts or seeds, soaked overnight, then rinsed in a strainer
4 carrots, chopped
1 cup fresh cilantro
1 small onion, chopped
2 tablespoons tamari

Run the above ingredients through a food processor and form into burger shapes. The burgers do not require cooking. Enjoy with a salad for a lovely lunch!

NUTTY POWER BALLS

Makes 30 balls

2 cups nuts or seeds
1/2 cup carob or chocolate powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder
1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
1/2 cup raisins
2 tablespoons almond butter or tahini
1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

If using a large nut (such as almond, walnut, or pecan) grind the nuts in a blender or food processor. In a large bowl, put 1 cup of nuts or seeds, the carob or chocolate powder, cinnamon, cardamom, and raisins. In a separate bowl, put all the other ingredients, except the remaining 1 cup of nuts, and mix well. Now mix the 2 bowls of wet and dry ingredients (except for the remaining nuts or seeds) together and stir. Form into 1/2-inch diameter balls with your fingers and roll each ball into the remaining nuts or seeds to cover. Store in the refrigerator.

NUT MILK

Makes 1 quart

Soak 1 cup of almonds (or cashews, sesame seeds, or sunflower seeds) overnight. Rinse. Add 1 quart of water to a blender with the almonds and 1 tablespoon raw honey. Blend. Strain though cheesecloth or a sprout bag.
