Yummy! Greatest invention ever!
Raw meatballs with raw Italian tomato sauce.
Very easy takes hardly any time thanks to my blender!
“Meatballs”
1 cup raw almonds soaked overnight and drained
1 cup pecans
grind up in processor and add
1 peeled carrot
1/2 small purple onion
small handful parsley tops
1 sprig rosemary, leaves removed from stem.
several fresh sweet basil leaves
garlic, either fresh or powder
cajun seasoning to taste or salt
juice of one small lime or 1/4 lemon
dash mushroom soy sauce
1 t. olive oil
grind nuts first and add rest of ingredients. blend until all is starting to stick together.
make round balls and set on a screen for dehydration. (you can eat them right away if you wish or dehydrate for several hours until dry to touch on outside.
Sauce:
I used my blender for this. I quartered about 10 or more tomatoes.
1 small Zucchini cut in about 6 pieces
1 sweet pepper- remove seeds cut into several large pieces
1 small hot red pepper (to taste) remove seeds
fresh garlic or garlic powder
1 handful parsley tops
1 handful basil
2 sprigs of rosemary
4 or 5 dashes of mushroom soy sauce
2-3 t. lemon juice
1-2 t. apple cider vinegar
drizzle of honey to taste
1 T. olive oil or more to taste
1-2 t. salt to taste or you could use cajun spice if you want more spicy flavor
start your blender slowly until the tomatoes are starting to form water and then pulse until all is blended. blend for about 20 seconds more.
let sit one hour to let flavors blend. I couldn’t wait that long 🙂
Pour the sauce over the “meatballs”
If you are eating raw, you can make raw pasta with zucchini or other squash.
You could do several things with these meatballs as well.
You could make gyros, swedish meatballs, vietnam “nam nuang”, wrap in sushi or lettuce etc…
you could also use other sauces such as brown or swedish gravy, peanut sauce, falafel sauce etc…
Sky is the limit on these “meatballs!” Delicious! I promise.
